Project Specific Select Field REST API with jira-python

[JUS]

Hi, the Project Specific Select Field REST API uses access URL as in example http://localhost:2990/rest/projectspecificselectfield/1.0/customfield/FCTA/customfield_10400

But the jira-phyton function find() to "Find Resource object for any addressable resource on the server" extends path to
http://localhost:2990/rest/api/2/projectspecificselectfield/1.0/customfield/FCTA/customfield_10400
(/api/2/ inserted) which does not match the required URL. Any hint to resolve this ? Many thanks, Jens-Uwe

Looking at the source code for the jira-python library (link), it looks like the url path for api calls is constructed using some default values for rest_path and rest_api_version provided by the JIRA class. 

From the code:

class JIRA(object):

...

 DEFAULT_OPTIONS = {
 "server": "http://localhost:2990/jira",
 "auth_url": '/rest/auth/1/session',
 "context_path": "/",
 "rest_path": "api",
 "rest_api_version": "2",
 "agile_rest_path": GreenHopperResource.GREENHOPPER_REST_PATH,
 "agile_rest_api_version": "1.0",
 "verify": True,
 "resilient": True,
 "async": False,
 "client_cert": None,
 "check_update": False,

Without modifying the codebase the only workaround I can think of would be to provide values for those two options so that the URL is constructed properly.  

Example:

import jira.client
from jira.client import JIRA


jira_options={'server': 'http://localhost:2990/jira','rest_path': 'projectspecificselectfield','rest_api_version':'1.0'}
jira=JIRA(options=jira_options,basic_auth=('admin','password'))
