How do I list all issue in a board (project) backlog in Python?

[Daniel Hellsson]

Hi!

I'm writing a program that helps plan sprints. Currently I'm manually exporting the *prioritized* backlog (order is important), but I'd like to retrieve it automatically from JIRA via the REST API. I'm unable to figure out how to do that with python JIRA.

Has anyone else attempted this?

There is no obvious way to do this by reading the Python JIRA API docs.
