PyJWT2.0.0a2 supported; 2.0.0 not supported

[Andrew-Chen-Wang]

Master branch is failing because of what the title says. This issue is going to track it as well as being pinned to make sure people see this before creating an issue. But to reiterate:

Version 4.6.0 (Python 3.7+) supports PyJWT 2.0.0a1, 2.0.0a2, 1.7.1. SimpleJWT does not support PyJWT 2.0.0 as of yet. Please don't create new issues unless this issue is not affecting you.

---

If you're using Python 3.6 or below, you can only use SimpleJWT 4.4.0 which only supports PyJWT 1.7.1.

Here is a PR for this one: #348
It does not resolves the problem of supporting PyJWT 2.0.0, however it resolves the problem of broken applications who use django-rest-framework-simplejwt

@AlexDobrushskiy Thanks for the update. I'd like to update SimpleJWT to 4.7.0 rather than getting a patch out since David's not really active when it comes to maintenance. Will keep it in mind though as I'm patching everything up, though, since I'm not really sure if my time will be enough to update simplejwt.

I guess that's what happens when you increase major versions. Lots of breaking changes.

Ref #349 Unless you wrote verify=False, you aren't effected.

Please note: PyJWT 2.0.0 is supported by SimpleJWT 4.6.0. The master branch tests failed because of certain changes in PyJWT.decode (they started copying the payload first then modifying the copied version), but 4.6.0 is not effected by this change. You should be able to upgrade without a problem.
