ImportError: No module named jwt.algorithms

See original GitHub issue

After installing pyxero 0.7.0 via pip, and attempting to connect to a Private Application, I get the following ImportError:

I’ve tried this on Gentoo and Ubuntu, with the same results. On Gentoo, I then installed pyjwt with pip, and got this:

Installing python-jwt on the Ubuntu machine made no difference.

PyCrypto is installed (2.6.1) on both machines. JWT appears to be required, pip doesn’t install it automatically as a dependency, but even when it is installed, the thing doesn’t seem to be able to load up the crypto libraries it wants. Am I taking crazy pills, or is something very wrong here?

Installing pip install cryptography as per https://github.com/freakboy3742/pyxero/issues/90 fixed it for me (Python 3.5.1, latest release of all packages)

I just got this error using pyxero 0.7.0 with Python 2.7.6 on pythonanywhere.com. Downgrading to oauthlib 0.7.2 solved the issue for me.

pip install oauthlib==0.7.2
