Unable to authenticate using REST Framework JWT

I can successfully request a token, and include it in the header of the new request. However, when I try to access restricted views, I keep getting AttributeError: 'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'successful_authenticator'as well as AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'InvalidTokenError'

Here's my dummy restricted view:

class RestrictedView(APIView):
    permission_classes = (IsAuthenticated, )
    authentication_classes = (JSONWebTokenAuthentication, )

    def post(self, request):

        response_data = json.dumps({"authenticated": "mooh"})

        return HttpResponse(response_data, content_type='application/json')

The post method naturally doesn't start executing, since there's a problem with the authentication.

Here is the Authorization header of the incoming request after checking it in the Silk profiler:

"AUTHORIZATION: JWT iOjE0NDQ1NjQ...."

My settings.py contains the following:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated',
    ),
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
        'rest_framework.authentication.BasicAuthentication',
        'rest_framework_jwt.authentication.JSONWebTokenAuthentication',
    ),
    'FORM_METHOD_OVERRIDE': None,
    'FORM_CONTENT_OVERRIDE': None,
    'FORM_CONTENTTYPE_OVERRIDE': None
}

I'd appreciate any help, as I've been stuck on this seemingly basic issue for a while. What does the error actually mean?

Edit: The original problem is solved, as answered below. Quite a silly mistake to make.

It turned out that I just had to update my PyJWT installation to the latest, 1.4.0 version.
