Hello Trinath,

Not sure you should run the script as root, but I am digressing.

One of my coworker could not authenticate properly and we found out the
username needs to be all lower case.  Ie in jenkins_jobs.ini :

 [jenkins]
 user=trinath
 password=123456890abcdef

Make sure you are using your username API token, not the regular
password.  You can find it from the Jenkins web interface under:

 <you jenkins url>/ci/user/<your username>/configure

Under the section "API token", press the button [Show API token..]


Then you can try authentication manually from python interactive command:

 >>> import jenkins
 >>> j = jenkins.Jenkins( '<jenkins url>/ci', username='trinath',
password='<your API token there'>
 >>> j.get_queue_info()

Should give you something (aka not a 401).
