HERE IS A TESTED WORKING SCRIPT

"""
Decode in Python a string encoded in Laravel 6.x

String ENCODED in Laravel 6.x with default pakage
Illuminate\Support\Facades\Crypt
and command like:
$encrypted = Crypt::encrypt('Hello world.');
Test in 
php artisan tinker
>>use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Crypt;
>>$encrypted = Crypt::encrypt('Hello world.');

Strings DECODED in Python 3.7 (64bit) with just following requirements:

phpserialize==1.3
pycryptodome==3.9.7

NOTE: avoid using in Laravel
$encrypted = Crypt::encryptString('Hello world.');
as this does NOT serializes strings :  not-serialized strings are not handled by this script.

Hello ^_^

I am seeing this a bit later, but I was looking for this same thing and now that I have tried it it has problems with the "json.loads" part.

Here is the exception I am getting

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\PC\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\serverless\lib\plugins\aws
invokeLocal\runtimeWrappers\invoke.py", line 86, in

result = handler(input['event'], context)

File ".\sendMail.py", line 52, in sendMailSMTP
print(decrypt(secret, app_key))
File ".\sendMail.py", line 98, in decrypt
data = json.loads(dataJson)
File "C:\Users\PC\Anaconda3\lib\json_init_.py", line 343, in loads

s = s.decode(detect_encoding(s), 'surrogatepass')

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8c in position 5: invalid
start byte

Can someone please help me with this, thanк you in advance
