Create JWT Python

(newClient.set_endpoint(os.getenv('ENDPOINT'))
  .set_project(os.getenv('ID'))
)
account = Account(newClient)
account.create_email_password_session(email=email, password=password)
try:
  jwt = account.create_jwt()
except Exception as e:
  print("Unable to create jwt: " + str(e))
  return None```
From my understanding in the docs, this would be the correct way to create a jwt with the same permissions as the user that logged in.  but I get the error `User (role: guests) missing scope (account)`

Any thoughts is greatly appreciated
