This code works and prints out the list of projects accessible to anonymous user

---------------------This Works-----------

from collections import Counter
from jira import JIRA
import re

options = {
'server': 'https://jira.atlassian.com'}

jira = JIRA(options)

projects = jira.projects()
for v in projects:
print (v)

-------------------------THIS DOES NOT WORK-------

from collections import Counter
from jira import JIRA
import re

options = {
'server': 'https://jira.atlassian.com'}

jira = JIRA(options, basic_auth=('username', 'password'))

projects = jira.projects()
for v in projects:
print (v)

Hello,

It means that you are not authenticated in Jira. Are you sure that you provide valid credentials for basic_auth? Does your Jira instance use basic authentication?
