AES encryption between python and Node.js with PKCS7Padding

I am trying with no success to decrypt a message with pkcs7 padding in Node.js. This message was encrypted and sent from Python code. I managed make it work in pure Python but can't figure out how to implement the decode (pkcs7 padding) functionality in Node.js. Can anybody help me reproduce the code?

Python Encode-Encrypt

import base64
import hashlib
from Crypto.Cipher import AES
import pkcs7

text = "data"
pasword = "key"    

pw_bytes = pasword.encode('utf-8')
text_bytes = text.encode('utf-8')

m = hashlib.md5()
m.update(pw_bytes)
key = m.hexdigest()
cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_ECB)
pad_text = pkcs7.encode(text_bytes)
msg = cipher.encrypt(pad_text)
EncodeMsg = base64.b64encode(msg)
encryptedstring = EncodeMsg.decode("utf-8")
print(encryptedstring)

# Output: SxQE+SERkAzYcdG/ESAhiQ==

In addition, I put custom code for pkcs7 padding in Python pkcs7.py

import binascii
try:
    from StringIO import StringIO
except ImportError:
    from io import StringIO


def decode(bytestring, k=16):
    val = binascii.hexlify(bytestring[-1])
    val = int(val, 16)
    if val > k:
        raise ValueError('Input is not padded or padding is corrupt')
    l = len(bytestring) - val
    return bytestring[:l]


def encode(bytestring, k=16):
    l = len(bytestring)
    output = StringIO()
    val = k - (l % k)
    for _ in range(val):
        output.write('%02x' % val)
    return bytestring + binascii.unhexlify(output.getvalue())

Node.js Decrypt

const crypto = require('crypto');
var decipher = crypto.createDecipher('aes-128-ecb', 'key');
var decrypted = decipher.update('SxQE+SERkAzYcdG/ESAhiQ==', 'base64', 'utf8');
decrypted += decipher.final('utf8');

console.log(decrypted);

This is the error: 

Error: error:06065064:digital envelope routines:EVP_DecryptFinal_ex:bad decrypt

Replacing key = m.hexdigest() with key = m.digest() should solve your problem.
