Python AES encryption is different from iOS

Question

I am trying to encrypt a string in IOS and then send it to a TCP server. The code version and iOS version of Python are shown below. Watch the releases of both versions. They look very similar, but the lengths are different, and I do not know the reason. Can anyone verify this, what could be the reason?

Please note that PADDING in the Python script should be discarded, as I already gave the text length 16.

PYTHON Code:

     #!/usr/bin/env python

     from Crypto.Cipher import AES
     import base64
     import os

     # the block size for the cipher object; must be 16, 24, or 32 for AES
     BLOCK_SIZE = 16

     PADDING = '{'

     # one-liner to sufficiently pad the text to be encrypted
     pad = lambda s: s + (BLOCK_SIZE - len(s) % BLOCK_SIZE) * PADDING

     # one-liners to encrypt/encode and decrypt/decode a string
     # encrypt with AES, encode with base64
     EncodeAES = lambda c, s: base64.b64encode(c.encrypt(pad(s)))
     DecodeAES = lambda c, e: c.decrypt(base64.b64decode(e)).rstrip(PADDING)


     secret = "1234567890123456" 

     # create a cipher object using the random secret
     cipher = AES.new(secret)

     encoded = EncodeAES(cipher, 'password12345678')
     print 'Encrypted string:', encoded

     decoded = DecodeAES(cipher, encoded)
     print 'Decrypted string:', decoded

CONCLUSION:

Encrypted String: 57AayWF4jKYx7KzGkwudIBZUsn1ULOC0C4c5YF3xeI8 =

Decrypted string: password12345678

NSString *forKey=@"1234567890123456";
NSString *mystr =@"password12345678";
const char *utfString = [mystr UTF8String];
NSData *aData=[NSData dataWithBytes: utfString length: strlen(utfString)];
aData=[mystr dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSData *data;//=[aData AES128EncryptWithKey:forKey];
data=[aData AES128EncryptWithKey:forKey];

NSString *base64 = [data base64EncodedString];

aData=[data AES128DecryptWithKey:forKey];
mystr=[[NSString alloc] initWithData:aData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

NSLog(@"AES data : %@  \n %@",mystr,base64 );

CONCLUSION:

AES data: password12345678

OK, here it is. Thanks sarnold for the tip :)

from Crypto.Cipher import AES
import base64
import os

    # the block size for the cipher object; must be 16, 24, or 32 for AES
    BLOCK_SIZE = 16
    mode = AES.MODE_CBC
    secret = "1234567890123456" #os.urandom(BLOCK_SIZE)

    # create a cipher object using the random secret
    cipher = AES.new(secret,mode)

    # encode a string
    #tx=cipher.encrypt('1234567890123456')
    #print base64.b64encode(tx)

    myData='aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'
    #encoded = EncodeAES(cipher, myData)
    encoded = cipher.encrypt(myData)
    print 'Encrypted string:', base64.b64encode(encoded)
    mode = AES.MODE_ECB
    cipher=AES.new(secret,mode)
    decoded = cipher.decrypt(encoded)
    print 'Decrypted string:', decoded

Python OUTPUT:

CCCryptorStatus cryptStatus = CCCrypt(kCCEncrypt, kCCAlgorithmAES128, kCCOptionECBMode,keyPtr, CCKeySizeAES128, NULL,[self bytes], dataLength,  buffer, bufferSize,  &numBytesEncrypted);
