djangorestframework-simplejwt: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'.

Hey– I’m trying to get this package integrated and I’m getting something odd here when a jwt is being created. Is anyone else running into this issue? I’m on 4.4.0

AttributeError: ‘str’ object has no attribute ‘decode’.

  File "/.../.venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/rest_framework_simplejwt/tokens.py", line 226, in for_user
    token=str(token),
  File "/.../.venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/rest_framework_simplejwt/tokens.py", line 82, in __str__
    return token_backend.encode(self.payload)
  File "/.../.venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/rest_framework_simplejwt/backends.py", line 43, in encode
    return token.decode('utf-8')
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

Still having it on 4.6.0. Started a few hours ago, out of the blue.

Alright apologies. I don’t understand what changed in PyJWT 2.0.0a1 to 2.0.0, but apparently it broke stuff… again (as noted in master branch). So reopening a different issue (it’s a duplicate) to mark for historical purposes. Find it at #346

#327 should come out in the next release (maybe a quick patch release).

Ah yes looks like I was on 2.0.0. I have downgraded to 1.7.1 for now.
