Setting the decoder parameter in the get_auth_session function to json.loads when authenticating with google oauth2 returns an error

I have the following code token = request.GET.get(‘code’) data = { ‘code’: token, ‘redirect_uri’: ANGULAR_LOGIN_URL, ‘grant_type’: ‘authorization_code’} session = auth_manager.get_auth_session(data=data, decoder=json.loads)

which gives me the following error,

TypeError at /login/google/
can't use a string pattern on a bytes-like object
Request Method: GET
Request URL:    http://127.0.0.1:8000/login/google/?code=4/dX8nbHWAW7WTMWr4zd6aigqygpvD.gn_o-kuFOPUcmmS0T3UFEsOglLpHhgI

I’m not too sure why I am getting this error. I looked at

https://github.com/litl/rauth/issues/110

but that has not helped

session = auth_manager.get_auth_session(data=data, decoder=lambda b: json.loads(str(b)))

You can also pass in a custom decoder now. Closing.
