[keycloak-dev] Implementing database-service example in Python

[Vinay Anantharaman]

I'll be looking into this and will report back if a library exists for
Python to read JWT tokens.

I was wondering is there an API on the KeyCloak server for doing JWT token
verification? Or rather should we decode the token and use the REST admin
endpoints if we need to query more information?
