Even though python-jose uses the cryptography backend and not ecdsa, it isn't up to date and the issues related to it are discussed in #503.
When comparing the python libs mentioned on jwt.io, it seems that jwcrypto is the right mix of up-to-date, featureful and has a helpful maintainer that helped me understanding his lib.
Thus, I think we can drop python-jose and use jwcrypto instead.
