This library eases the use of the JIRA REST API from Python applications.
Feeling impatient? I like your style.
:::python
from jira.client import JIRA
options = { 'server': 'https://jira.atlassian.com'}
jira = JIRA(options)
issue = jira.issue('JRA-9')
print issue.fields.project.key # 'JRA'
print issue.fields.issuetype.name # 'New Feature'
print issue.fields.reporter.displayName # 'Mike Cannon-Brookes [Atlassian]'
Download and install using pip:
pip install jira-python
You ARE using a virtualenv, right?
See the documentation (http://readthedocs.org/docs/jira-python/) for full details.
