Python bindings for the remote Jenkins API

Python Jenkins is a python wrapper for the Jenkins REST API which aims to provide a more conventionally pythonic way of controlling a Jenkins server. It provides a higher-level API containing a number of convenience functions.

We like to use python-jenkins to automate our Jenkins servers. Here are some of the things you can use it for:

• Create new jobs

• Copy existing jobs

• Delete jobs

• Update jobs

• Get a job’s build information

• Get Jenkins master version information

• Get Jenkins plugin information

• Start a build on a job

• Create nodes

• Enable/Disable nodes

• Get information on nodes

• Create/delete/reconfig views

• Put server in shutdown mode (quiet down)

• List running builds

• Delete builds

• Wipeout job workspace

• Create/delete/update folders [1]

• Set the next build number [2]

• Install plugins

• and many more..

To install:

$ sudo python setup.py install
