AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute '_jws'

AttributeError: ‘dict’ object has no attribute ‘_jws’

got this error :

File “E:\github\MyGits\TDA\rest_server_sql.py”, line 113, in login token = jwt.JWT.encode({‘public_id’ : user.public_id, ‘exp’ : datetime.datetime.utcnow() + datetime.timedelta(minutes=30)}, app.config[‘SECRET_KEY’]) File “E:\github\MyGits\TDA\venv_tda\lib\site-packages\jwt\jwt.py”, line 44, in encode return self._jws.encode(message, key, alg, optional_headers) AttributeError: ‘dict’ object has no attribute ‘_jws’

while generating token: token = jwt.JWT.encode({'public_id' : user.public_id, 'exp' : datetime.datetime.utcnow() + datetime.timedelta(minutes=30)}, app.config['SECRET_KEY'])

It’s a caller bug. jwt.JWT.encode is not a static method, you should instantiate jwt.JWT class first and then call encode method of that instance.

@yosida95 anyway I fixe the problem by uninstalling using :

pip uninstall jwt==1.0.0

And then I uninstalled pyJWT using:

pip uninstall PyJWT

And then install it again:

pip install PyJWT

And my code:

encoded = jwt.encode({'some': 'payload'}, 'secret', algorithm='HS256')

Is working
