Darragh Bailey 87a892a232 Use str as base class for PluginVersion
To allow PluginVersion class to be passed to builtin functions expecting
a string type, need to use 'str' as the base class. This ensures
the change to support version comparison is completely transparent to
the calling code, but permits changes to benefit from the new behaviour
without breaking existing usage.

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
  • Create/delete/update folders1
  • Set the next build number2
  • Install plugins
  • and many more..

To install:

$ sudo python setup.py install

Patches are submitted via Gerrit at:

Please do not submit GitHub pull requests, they will be automatically closed.

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

Footnotes


  1. The free Cloudbees Folders Plugin provides support for a subset of the full folders functionality. For the complete capabilities you will need the paid for version of the plugin.↩︎

  2. The Next Build Number Plugin provides support for setting the next build number.↩︎
