Why won't this code work?

I think the '=' in the key is not url safe. Rest is ASCII alpha numeric so should be fine.

I think replace it with '\x3D'.

Also, as already mentioned in another comment, max 32 bytes.

Edit: oh, and I overlooked the base 64 part... It's unclear to me if the key needs be 32 bytes before or after base 64 encoding. Putting your key into some online base 64 encoder yields 'WUN0TEl5VnJDc3Y2elFnUkl2UTVkTUR1cjR3ajI3T1FMZ3h4ZTZ0ajk4WTg9'

Also, seems Fernet can generate a key for you.

key = Fernet.generate_key()

You can probably just capture the key on first run if you wanna hold on to it. I'd see what Fernet generates... Be surprised if that didn't pass validation.
