python: Computing a test hash with pbkdf2_hmac-sha256 + salt not the same vaules

For a encryption class i'm in we were tasked to make a program to check a password if the computer knows the following defined information. The teacher gave us a working set of fixed information.

I am trying to write a python code to verfiery a given set of user data based upon the known and fixed...

digest method: HMAC-SHA256

rounds: 100000

salt:"e65814e4382759f85550029e723dc7e7"

password:"governor washout beak"

to output the derived: "5f37a3bd08ac1c7d163294a3cb192ed1407b62bbc6a6259fee55f6e53f754273"

This is my code to generate the derived to check against the above derived...

 key = hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac('sha256', b'governor washout beak', b'e65814e4382759f85550029e723dc7e7', 100000, dklen=32) print(binascii.hexlify(key))

however I get "0ce7d2e654c0ba80e67348c9610ca1851312458166ee8c9e6d46666832a21b11" instead. I don't understand what is missing.
