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.
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'

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]
See the documentation for full details.
Development takes place on GitHub using the default repository branch. Each version is tagged.
Follow the instructions in the contributing guide, which will describe how to use the dev container that will automatically setup a suitable environment.

When updating interactions with the Jira REST API please refer to the documentation below. We aim to support both Jira Cloud and Jira Server / Data Center.
- Jira Cloud / Jira Server (main REST API reference)
- Jira Software Cloud / Jira Software Server (former names include: Jira Agile, Greenhopper)
- Jira Service Desk Cloud / Jira Service Desk Server
