Destroy session using jira-python REST client

Question

I am trying to invalidate the session using jira-python rest client. How can I achieve this feature, is it built in or needs to be implemented?

I tried looking at all the APIs available in client.py and there seems to be no way to destroy or invalidate a session.

Another question that follow is, do I have to authenticate on every REST call made by the client? Currently that is what I am doing.

I usually create one jira client at the beginning of program and then just use reference to it. — ThePavolC, Apr 23 '15 at 21:15

JIRA invalidates session after 5 hours, from version 4.3 onwards.

Just to be clear, one of the reasons why is called REST api is because you do not have to do anything with the session.
