Hello,

My build server is based on Windows. I want to trigger a Build using pythons scripts. As of now from http://pythonhosted.org/jenkinsapi/, it seems that, api only for Linux System.

Thanks and Regards,
Sujith

I use Jenkinsapi for both Linux and Windows with no problem. You just need to install Jenkinsapi module in the Python installation used by each build machine, e.g. by "pip install jenkinsapi". Then in a shell or batch script build step, you call a Python script and "import jenkinsapi" in the script.

Hello Eric,

Thanks for your reply, could you please let me know, how to install Jenkinsapi for Windows. I am not able to find any documentation for that.

Thanks and Regards,
Sujith

It's the same on Windows or Linux. If you look in your Python scripts directory, usually something like C:\Python35\scripts (for Python 3.5), you should find package install tools like pip or easy_install. You may need to give the full path to the executable, so "C:\Python35\scripts\pip install jenkinsapi". If pip is not installed you can use easy_install.
