TypeError: decode() got an unexpected keyword argument 'verify'

Expected Result

This error should not occur.

Actual Result

The verify keyword argument is now rejected.

Reproduction Steps

In this case, installing LibrePhotos using Docker Compose. The problem API call is in Django’s rest framework JWT, but the version constraints allowed it to pick up a minor revision which contained a breaking change.

System Information

PyJWT version is 2.2.0. Downgrading to 2.1.0 fixes the problem.

what about just revert that nd wait for v3.0

Thanks for your suggestion. I thought it would be better that way too. I’ll send a PR to revert (but wait for a couple of days because I cannot have enough time to do).

@jpadilla @auvipy could you release v2.2.1 after that? Sorry for bothering you.
