ah I see @mxmfrlv thank you very much, I remember when I implemented the encryption above in my python code, it's not working with hex 32, so I am using hex 16.

then when I change the algorithm from AES-256-CBC to AES-128-CBC, it's now working.

This is returning an error when I try to encrypt alphabet characters with diacritics in Python.
Example:

my_encrypt("Crème Brûlée", "hash")
# Output:
# Data must be padded to 16 byte boundary in CBC mode

Is there a way for me to have this method accept all types of characters?

Security considerations

You are aware of the fact that the parameters that you're referring to as "passphrases" are really not passphrases, but cryptographic keys, which have to consist of cryptographically strong random bytes, are you not?

You can generate symmetric encryption keys directly in your code (maybe via a separate function, e.g. generate_secure_encryption_key()) using the same way you're generating your initialization vectors, i.e. through Crypto.Random (or alternatively, os.urandom). The key needs to then be stored somewhere safe, e.g. a file readable only by its owner.

If you need to use a passphrase for encryption, such as the string "a quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog", you need to use a key derivation function to transform your passphrase into a suitable key.
