Python des-ede-cbc equivalent

Question

I currently have an encrypt and decrypt for 3DES (des-ede-cbc) in PHP as follows:

php > $key = '0000000000000000';
php > $iv = '00000000';
php > $plaintext = '1234567812345678';
php > $ciphertext = openssl_encrypt($plaintext, 'des-ede-cbc', $key, 0, $iv);
php > echo $ciphertext;
LEvEJf9CI+5VTVNeIjARNamKH+PNTx2P

php > $plaintext = openssl_decrypt($ciphertext, 'des-ede-cbc', $key, 0, $iv);
php > echo $plaintext;
1234567812345678

I need to be able to take the ciphertext and decrypt it in python. The closest I've found is pycrypto: https://gist.github.com/komuw/83ddf9b4ae8f995f15af

My attempt:

>>> key = '0000000000000000'
>>> iv = '00000000'
>>> cipher_decrypt = DES3.new(key, DES3.MODE_CBC, iv)
>>> plaintext = cipher_decrypt.decrypt('LEvEJf9CI+5VTVNeIjARNamKH+PNTx2P')
>>> plaintext
b']v\xdf\xa7\xf7\xc0()\x08\xdf\xcb`4\xa7\x10\x9e\xaf\x8c\xb6\x00+_\xb3?2\x1d\\\x08\x01\xfa\xf2\x99'

I'm not sure what it's doing differently. It's 3DES with mode CBC. I'm not exactly sure what the ede part means, but I can't seem to find anything to emulate that exact openssl mode.

Python 3.6.5
PHP 7.1.3

The string you get from PHP is base64 encoded.

from Crypto.Cipher import DES3
from base64 import decodebytes

key = b'0000000000000000'
iv = b'00000000'

cipher_decrypt = DES3.new(key, DES3.MODE_CBC, iv)
plaintext = cipher_decrypt.decrypt(decodebytes(b'LEvEJf9CI+5VTVNeIjARNamKH+PNTx2P'))

print(plaintext.decode("utf-8"))

>>>1234567812345678
