I have already done pip install jira
but when I run the following it fails with ImportError: cannot import name JIRA
import re
from jira import JIRA
jira = JIRA('https://issues.net')
# all values are samples and won't work in your code!
key_cert_data = None
key_cert_file = "cert/jiraprivatekey.pub"
with open(key_cert, 'r') as key_cert_file:
key_cert_data = key_cert_file.read()
fixed it.
The file I was running was called jira.py so when I did from
jira import JIRA
It was trying to look up self.
In addition to @Organ note
I'd like to note that you can turn on absolute import paths and keep your file named jira.py if it makes sense to you to do that
In my case, I did this twice:
jira
from jira import JIRA
jira = JIRA(URL_JIRA, basic_auth=('abc', '123'))
So in the first show, it's working good because jira is the global namespace but in second usage it doesn't because jira became just instance of JIRA.
This is my solution based on Organ's note:
import jira.client
x = jira.client.JIRA(URL_JIRA, basic_auth=('123', 'abc'))
Here, you can keep having jira.py and use these lines as much as you need.
I started getting this error when I installed python 3.6,earlier I had python 2.7. and jira was working. I renamed the python3.6 exe as python3 and python 2.7 exe as python, issue got resolved
In my case from jira import Jira was resolved with next steps:
pip install jira
pip install 'jira[cli]'
or if you are not in (venv):
pip install jira
python -m venv jira_python
source jira_python/bin/activate
pip install 'jira[cli]'
from jira import JIRA
jira = JIRA('https://jira.atlassian.com')
The official doc you will find here:
https://jira.readthedocs.io/installation.html
and here:
https://pypi.org/project/jira/
Hope somebody it will helps.
