Example 1: encrypt and decrypt python

# encrypting
from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
message = "my deep dark secret".encode()

f = Fernet(key)
encrypted = f.encrypt(message)
# decrypting
from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
encrypted = b"...encrypted bytes..."

f = Fernet(key)
decrypted = f.decrypt(encrypted)

Example 2: how to encrypt and decrypt strings python

from cryptography.fernet import Fernet

def generate_key():
    """
    Generates a key and save it into a file
    """
    key = Fernet.generate_key()
    with open("secret.key", "wb") as key_file:
        key_file.write(key)
