Unable to make connection between JIRA and Python

Ashish_yg7hlg

I'm trying to connect to Jira using python, but my python applications gets stopped after running for almost 1-2 minutes long. Basically it shows: "python.exe has stopped working"

 My code <span>is</span> <span>as</span> below:

<span>#import libraries</span>
<span>from</span> jira <span>import</span> JIRA    
<span>from</span> jira.exceptions <span>import</span> JIRAError    
<span>import</span> sys    
options = {<span>'server'</span>: <span>'https://sipcg.atlassian.net'</span>}    

<span>try</span>:    
    <span>print</span>(<span>"start!"</span>)    
    jira = JIRA(options=options, auth=(<span>'xyz'</span>, <span>'xyz'</span>))    
<span>except</span> JIRAError <span>as</span> e:    
    <span>if</span> e.status_code == <span>401</span>:    
        <span>print</span> (<span>"Login to JIRA failed. Check your username and password"</span>)    
<span>print</span> (<span>"done!"</span>)    

<span>#Please help me in order to connect using jiracli    </span>
<span>#Note: ignore the python indentation attached here</span>

Dear @Ashish ,

when debugging problems, I always send the rest call from script with a REST API browser extension to verify.

Have you done this already? I could be an authentication error. It could be a Web Proxy issue. (The traffic of the browser is filtered by a company proxy - on command line request run into the void). It could be a firewall issue (tried to telnet the server?)

So long

Thomas
