Having trouble adding comment to resolution when closing issue via python api

[Richard Cirone Jr]

Attempting to edit a GitHub->Jira action to work with our Jira setup.  We require a comment and a resolution when attempting to force close an issue.    So here's what I've attempted

jira.transition_issue(issue, '91', fields={ 'resolution':{'name': 'Done'}})

since the comment is not there, the error will be that a comment is required:

response text = {"errorMessages":["A comment is required to edit this item!"],"errors":{}}

So we add the comment:

jira.transition_issue(issue, '91', fields={ 'resolution':{'name': 'Done'}, 'comment':{'body': 'Transition comment'}})

but we get this error:

response text = {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"comment":"Field does not support update 'comment'"}}

Found API definition for transition_issue... specifies that comment is a optional param. duh.

SO this works: 

jira.transition_issue(issue, '91', fields={ 'resolution':{'name': 'Done'}}, comment='the comment')
