Python base64-encode Error

I am working on GDAX API. when i try to connect with API with authentications then i am getting the error.i am just not able to successfully connect with API.i want to create a trading bot for GDAX using their API. 

import base64, hashlib, hmac, time
import json
import requests
from requests.auth import AuthBase

api_base = 'https://api-public.sandbox.gdax.com'


class GDAXRequestAuth(AuthBase):
 def __init__(self, api_key, secret_key, passphrase):
    self.api_key = api_key
    self.secret_key = secret_key
    self.secret_key += "000"
    print(self.secret_key)
    self.passphrase = passphrase

 def __call__(self, request):
    timestamp = str(time.time())
    message = timestamp + request.method + request.path_url + (request.body or '')
    hmac_key = base64.b64decode(self.secret_key)
    signature = hmac.new(hmac_key, message.encode('utf-8'), hashlib.sha256)
    signature_b64 = base64.b64encode(signature.digest())
    request.headers.update({
        'CB-ACCESS-SIGN': signature_b64,
        'CB-ACCESS-TIMESTAMP': timestamp,
        'CB-ACCESS-KEY': self.api_key,
        'CB-ACCESS-PASSPHRASE': self.passphrase,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    })
    return request


auth = GDAXRequestAuth('f9fc5ceab1d0f7652cb72cc1f25c317e',
                   '0000', '7iaxxywyy6e')
order_url = api_base + '/orders'
order_data = {
 'type': 'market',
 'side': 'buy',
 'product_id': 'BTC-USD',
 'size': '0.01'
}
response = requests.post(order_url, data=json.dumps(order_data), auth=auth)
print(response.json())

ERROR: 

File "C:\Users\aarsh\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\base64.py", line 87, in b64decode

In your code, you are decoding your secret key from base64:

hmac_key = base64.b64decode(self.secret_key)

However your secret key is not base64-encoded, so decoding fails.

You need to either convert the secret key to bytes and base64-encode in your __init__ method, or remove the decoding step in your __call__ method.
