    'description': 'Look into this one',
    'issuetype': {'name': 'Bug'}
}

new_issue = jira.create_issue(issue_dict)

If you look at the error, you can see it says:

"errors":{"issuetype":"Specify an issue type"}

So clearly something must be wrong with how you've set issuetype.

Have you tried looking at the API docs? It seems you could try:

Specifying the Issue Type via the issuetypeNames parameter rather than just issuetype; or
That you should specify an Issue Type ID rather than an issue type name.

Note that in Jira the Issue Types can be customised, so the issue type that you're trying to create might not always exist / have the same name. You can try getting all issue types for the user to see if that's the case.
