CBC mode is chosen because this is what mega is using.
Adding a coming explaining why 'b' needs to be padded up to a length multiple of 4. If the need for padding repeats, we could define a function for it maybe.

Is the package pycrypto the right one for AES import? Few comments added from there. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycrypto "PyCrypto is written and tested using Python version 2.1 through 3.3. Python 1.5.2 is not supported."
Good simple use of pycrypto is demonstrated here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqjdXMu4ZAQ
