Mnemonic Seed – Python “pbkdf2_hmac” function does not return the same as Ian Coleman BIP39 tool. Why?

I’m trying to go from Seed to xprv root key in BIP39 syntax. I have the following BIP39 syntax:

“The whale lettering thought art work is noisy, so the dog prefers to imitate the pink banana”

According to Ian Coleman’s tool, it returns a Seed.

“af0dc2290ec62618dd11686d3fb7201dc3a57dcc3129713272cd1fe75002d963db048cfda84da6cc1762c027b49b1a76e2d3e408f589c7acfca681e506a03aff”

And xprv

“xprv9s21ZrQH143K2Xszf61JSrkqT2cgXVbhKcu3YcfKmL5gYquAsMTFTwZ6NDqjMzPkCk4k9MkqwQKqyfxH7K3RCXdRZ7poUFZw3h5mEu9kCEW”

Let’s emulate this using the following code.

from hashlib import pbkdf2_hmac #import for going BIP39 words to key

    def BIP39_to_hash():
    
        mnemonictohash="prefer offer puppy imitate pink banana because whale letter thought artwork loud"
        a512string = pbkdf2_hmac('sha512',bytes(mnemonictohash,'ascii'), bytes.fromhex(''), 2048, dklen=512) #bytesfromhex is the salt (blank), 2048 is iterations
        print(binascii.hexlify(a512string)) #as Byte String converted to hex
    
    BIP39_to_hash

But this returns “b””.

What am I missing?
