Python Jwt Error "Algorithm not found" and another error "do you Cryptography component is installed"

Question

I am using python jwt to get a jwt token using algorithm RS512, but I keep getting error that algorithm is not found. Also, I get an error that no cryptography component is found. I have installed pycryptodome though.

Can anyone help on resolving above issues? Below is my code:

def generate_jwt_token(self):
 privateKeyPath = './config/privateKey.pem'
 payload = {'name': 'abc'}
 with open(privateKeyPath ,'rb') as f:
 privateKey = f.read()
 jwtToken = jwt.encode(payload, key=privateKey, algorithm='RS512')
 print(jwtToken)

• jps: error "do you Cryptography component is installed" - I doubt that this is the error message that you got. Please edit your question to add the precise error message.

Answer 1

Got the answer for algorithm not found :- Instead of installing pycrypto or pycryptodome, install the crypto component along with jwt. pip install pyjwt[crypto]
