Why does websocket handshake fail?

i have the following code for my python server to create and send back the response to an handshake

    def HandShake(self, request):
    specificationGUID = "258EAFA5-E914-47DA-95CA-C5AB0DC85B11"
    websocketkey = ""
    protocol = ""
    for line in request.split("\n"):
        if "Sec-WebSocket-Key:" in line:
            websocketkey = line.split(" ")[1]
        elif "Sec-WebSocket-Protocol" in line:
            protocol = line.split(":")[1].strip()

    print("websocketkey: " + websocketkey + "\n")
    fullKey = hashlib.sha1(websocketkey.encode("utf-8") + specificationGUID.encode("utf-8")).digest()
    acceptKey = base64.b64encode(fullKey)
    print("acceptKey: " + str(acceptKey, "utf-8") + "\n")
    if protocol != "":
        handshake = "HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols\r\nUpgrade: websocket\r\nConnection: Upgrade\r\nSec-WebSocket-Accept: " + str(acceptKey, "utf-8") + "\r\nSec-WebSocket-Protocol: " + protocol + "\r\n\r\n"
    else:
        handshake = "HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols\r\nUpgrade: websocket\r\nConnection: Upgrade\r\nSec-WebSocket-Accept: " + str(acceptKey, "utf-8") + "\r\n\r\n"
    print(handshake)
    self.request.send(bytes(handshake, "utf-8"))

I have tested my method of calculating the key with the example on wikipedia, so i know that is correct. However everytime when i try to connect to my server i get the following the error:

Error during WebSocket handshake: Sec-WebSocket-Accept mismatch

I dont understand what im doing wrong here. does someone see what is going wrong?

EDIT: an example output from the prints, this prints the original message and the fabricated handshake
