token returned from get_readonly_token() does not authenticate about stream-python

[tbarbugli]

can you attach information about the request from JS? (url, get params, headers) as well as the value of user.id server-side?

The user.id server side is 1

you are converting the readonly_token (bytes) into string incorrectly, the result is that you end up with its representation (which is almost the same except for the b'' wrap).

this change should get fix your problem:

str(readonly_token)

with:

readonly_token.decode("utf-8")

[ajbeach2]

Thank you. That fixed my issues. Should this be added to the documentation that it needs to be decoded in this way? Its confusing, because .token doesn't need to be decoded in this way, and .token is automatically serialized to json without decoding in this manner.

[tbarbugli]

next release does that, thank you for reporting this!
