How to encrypt and decrypt image using DES using pycrypto library in python 3?

This is the code that I have tried for text encryption and decryption:

from Crypto.Cipher import DES
from Crypto import Random

def pad(text):
    while len(text) % 8 != 0:
        text += " "
    return text

def removepad(text):
    reverse = text[::-1]
    for i in range(len(text)):
        if reverse[i] == ' ':
            pass
        else:
            break
    text = reverse[i:]
    text = text[::-1]
    return text

# plaintext = input("Enter Plaintext: ")
# key = input("Enter Key:")
plaintext = 'Encryption and Decryption of DES for OFB mode'
key = 'hellokey'
print("Plaintext: ",plaintext)
print("Key: ",key)
print()

iv = Random.new().read(DES.block_size)
cipher = DES.new(key, DES.MODE_OFB, iv)

plaintext = pad(plaintext)
msg = iv + cipher.encrypt(plaintext)
print("Encrypted Text: ")
print(msg)
print()

decCipher = DES.new(key, DES.MODE_OFB, msg[:DES.block_size])
msgback = decCipher.decrypt(msg[DES.block_size:])
dmsg = removepad(msgback.decode("utf-8"))
print("Decrypted Text: ")
print(dmsg)

This is the output for above code:

Plaintext: Encryption and Decryption of DES for OFB mode Key: hellokey

Encrypted Text: b'\xd5\xc5$\xdc\xac=4*\x91\xfa\x8c\x14\xe7\xbf\xb8\xd6a\x99<\xca\x132\x8d\xa3Q\xfd\xdf\x9cDQ\xd4\xd4e\xc3\xde"4x<\xa0\x8d\x11\x80\x97g:\xdam\x8a\xdfl\xcbaxu\xbe'

Decrypted Text: Encryption and Decryption of DES for OFB mode

Regardless of whether you have to use DES, DES.new(key, ...) expects a bytes key and cipher.encrypt(plaintext) expects a bytes plaintext rather than str ones, so use bytes literals key = b'hellokey' or encode to bytes msg = iv + cipher.encrypt(plaintext.encode()).
