• OSX and Linux.
• Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4
• Flask 0.10.1
• JIRA 0.21

Probably works on other versions too.

Install:

pip install Flask-JIRA-Helper

Example:

# example.py
from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.jira import JIRA

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['JIRA_SERVER'] = 'https://jira.mycompany.com'
app.config['JIRA_USER'] = 'jdoe'
app.config['JIRA_PASSWORD'] = 'SuperSecretP@ssw0rd'
jira = JIRA(app)

print jira.projects()

# extensions.py
from flask.ext.jira import JIRA

jira = JIRA()

# application.py
from flask import Flask
from extensions import jira

def create_app():
    app = Flask(__name__)
    app.config['JIRA_SERVER'] = 'https://jira.mycompany.com'
    app.config['JIRA_USER'] = 'service'
    app.config['JIRA_PASSWORD'] = 'SuperSecretP@ssw0rd'
    jira.init_app(app)
    return app

# manage.py
from application import create_app

app = create_app()
app.run()

Flask-JIRA-Helper subclasses jira.client.JIRA and adds the init_app() method for delayed initialization (for applications that instantiate extensions in a separate file, but run init_app() in the same file Flask() was instantiated).

The following config settings are searched for in the Flask application's configuration dictionary:

• JIRA_SERVER -- URL to JIRA server.
• JIRA_USER -- HTTP Basic authentication user name.
• JIRA_PASSWORD -- HTTP Basic authentication password.
• JIRA_TOKEN -- OAuth authentication access token.
• JIRA_SECRET -- OAuth authentication access token secret.
• JIRA_CONSUMER -- OAuth authentication consumer key.
• JIRA_CERT -- OAuth authentication key certificate data.
• JIRA_IGNORE_INITIAL_CONNECTION_FAILURE -- Ignore ConnectionError during init_app() for testing/development.

• Added JIRA_IGNORE_INITIAL_CONNECTION_FAILURE option.
• Added Python 2.6 and 3.x support.

• Fixed AttributeError when JIRA is instantiated but init_app() isn't called.

• Clearer error message when no credentials are specified.

• Initial release.
