What is the version of pyjwt in your project?

cc @peterdeme

pyjwt = 1.7.1

So it seems like the bytes vs str behavior of PyJWT has changed here. If I see it correctly that's version 2.0.

So @SidAtNSIO, you're not supposed to use anything less than 2.0.

As for ourselves, we bumped it in this PR. So if you still want to use a lower PyJWT version, you should use stream-python 5.0.0.

But I'd rather advise you to bump PyJWT is your owner project.

edit: just saw your PR. that could work too. 🙂
