Answer 2

You'll need to install a package such as pycrypto.
Then you will be able to use it such as;

from Crypto.Cipher import DES

key = "UserKeyOrPassword"
message = 'message or info to encrypt'
mode = DES.MODE_ECB

def pad(txt):
while len(txt) % 8 != 0:
txt += ' '
return txt

des = DES.new(key, mode)
message = pad(message)
encrypted_msg = des.encrypt(message)
print(encrypted_msg)
print(des.decrypt(encrypted_msg))

I would however suggest that you use AES instead.

Make sure you read the API documentation for usage.
