Using the JIRA API with Python 3.11

[Harry Melamed]

Trying to use the Python JIRA package and its not working for me.

Hoping someone here has an answer.

Using this import statement

from jira import JIRA

Import resolves to its containing file

What am I doing wrong here?

Hi @Harry Melamed 

Refer the atlassian developer page https://developer.atlassian.com/ to use python in jira 

You have to use import requests

Prasam, the original post is about using the Jira Python library, not using requests. The former makes it easier to access Jira remotely.

Harry, the problem you are having is with installing a Python library and using it. Not directly related to Jira or that library.

I find I use "python3" instead of "python" to make sure I am picking up the correct Python version when doing "pip install jira". And also when I start a Python shell. Then the example at https://jira.readthedocs.io/examples.html#quickstart should just work as expected

I use pycharm IDE.   Tried to uninstall and reinstall with no success.

all other libraries install and work fine when using pip from the terminal

Which version are you using, how did you install it and how are you running it?

[Harry Melamed]

pip install JIRA

Python 3.11

can't get by the coding without an error

[Pasam Venkateshwarrao]

@Harry Melamed you can use 

import requests

from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

[Harry Melamed]

I'm not totally sure that you are seeing the problem here.   I have no issues with the requests, but with importing and using the jira module in Python.

[Pasam Venkateshwarrao]

@Harry Melamed you can use 

jira import JIRA

[Harry Melamed]

Once again, I'm not sure you are paying attention here.  I have tried that and posted the error that I'm seeing in my Pycharm UI.

@Harry Melamed 

This can be fixed by running the command like this

python3 -m pip install <package name>

If this is not the case, you may have to go in and start manually installing all dependencies if this is not being done automatically. This can happen if it was installed like pip install --user <package name> to my knowledge.

the JIRA module has been installed and the error persists.
