This library eases the use of the Jira REST API from Python and it has been used in production for years.
As this is an open-source project that is community maintained, do not be surprised if some bugs or features are not implemented quickly enough. You are always welcomed to use BountySource to motivate others to help.
Quickstart
Feeling impatient? I like your style.
from jira import JIRA
jira = JIRA('https://jira.atlassian.com')
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]'Installation
Download and install using pip install jira or easy_install jira
You can also try pip install --user --upgrade jira which will install or upgrade jira to your user directory. Or maybe you ARE using a virtualenv right?
By default only the basic library dependencies are installed, so if you want to use the cli tool or other optional dependencies do perform a full installation using pip install jira[opt,cli,test]
Usage
See the documentation for full details.
Development
Development takes place on GitHub using the default repository branch. Each version is tagged.
Setup
Fork repo
Keep it sync’ed while you are developing
Install pyenv
- develop and test
- Launch docker jira server
docker run -dit -p 2990:2990 --name jira addono/jira-software-standalone
- Lint
tox -e lint
- Run tests
tox
- Run tests for one env only
tox -e py37
- Specify what tests to run with pytest
tox -e py39 -- tests/resources/test_attachment.py
- Debug tests with breakpoints by disabling the coverage plugin, with the --no-cov argument.
Example for VSCode on Windows :
{ "name": "Pytest", "type": "python", "request": "launch", "python": ".tox\\py39\\Scripts\\python.exe", "module": "pytest", "env": { "CI_JIRA_URL": "http://localhost:2990/jira", "CI_JIRA_ADMIN": "admin", "CI_JIRA_ADMIN_PASSWORD": "admin", "CI_JIRA_USER": "jira_user", "CI_JIRA_USER_FULL_NAME": "Newly Created CI User", "CI_JIRA_USER_PASSWORD": "jira", "CI_JIRA_ISSUE": "Task", "PYTEST_TIMEOUT": "0", // Don't timeout }, "args": [ // "-v", "--no-cov", // running coverage affects breakpoints "tests/resources/test_attachment.py" ] }
- Build and publish with TWINE
tox -e publish
