I couldn't find a solution the actually worked on the web but managed to
work it out my self so though I would share the information.
To add a job from Python 3.x to jenkins 1.547+ do the following:
1. Using pip or otherwise install the "requests" module for python 3
2. To post a job to jenkins you need a config.xml file for the job. If you
need example content manually create a test job in jenkins and then on the
jenkins server's local disk go to <jenkins home>\jobs\<job name>\config.xml
copy and use this as a template.
3. Once you have the xml file you need to POST it to http://<jenkinsserver
and port>/createItem?name=<jobname> now to do this use the following code.
* def CreateJob(self, job_name, job_config_xml, url, username,
password): assert isinstance(job_name, str) assert
isinstance(job_config_xml, str) assert isinstance(url, str)
assert isinstance(username, str) assert isinstance(password, str)
a = requests.post("%s/createItem" % url, params={"name":job_name},
data=job_config_xml, headers={"content-type":"text/xml"}, auth=(username,
password)) return a.status_code==200*
job_config.xml should contain the config.xml file content as a string.
BTW Don't try to pass the filename to requests.post instead of the file
content as this seems to cause internal server error 500 and I'm not
entirely sure why. It looks like the process causes file content to become
corrupted when posted???
Also note that if you remove the headers={"content-type":"text/xml"} you
will get Bad Request 400 because "text/html" is used by default which of
course in our case is not correct because we are sending an XML file.
Hope this helps.
