Aigars Mahinovs 811a6cffc8 Allow adding extra HTTP headers to Jenkins requests
In some network setups Jenkins may be hidden behind complex reverse
proxy setups that require additional custom headers to be set on
each request in order to pass them trough

Allow providing such headers using JENKINS_API_EXTRA_HEADERS environment
variable

README

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 folders1
  • Set the next build number2
  • Install plugins
  • and many more..

To install:

$ sudo python setup.py install

Writing a patch

Be sure that you lint code before created an code review. The easiest way to do this is to install git pre-commit hooks.

Installing without setup.py

Then install the required python packages using pip:

$ sudo pip install python-jenkins
