@gunnartorfis I have the same issue, have you found a fix?

Have you succeed in finding a fix?

This is a fantastic example. I've run into a problem though. Calling .decode('ascii') on the generated token when packaging as request header throws AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

Omitting the call to .decode() results in TypeError: Object of type bytes is not JSON serializable.

Has anyone else encountered this?
