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

• Create/delete/update folders [1]

• Set the next build number [2]

• Install plugins

• and many more..

To install:

$ sudo python setup.py install

Writing a patch

We ask that all code submissions be flake8 clean. The easiest way to do that is to run tox before submitting code for review in Gerrit. It will run flake8 in the same manner as the automated test suite that will run on proposed patchsets.

Installing without setup.py

Then install the required python packages using pip:

$ sudo pip install python-jenkins
