It seems this problem was resolved in this question, as follows:

curl -u $USER:$PASSWORD --data-urlencode "description=$new_description" \
    --data-urlencode "Submit=Submit" \
    "$jenkins_url/job/$job_name/$build_number/submitDescription"

My problem with this answer is that it ain't using Python. How one can solve it using the requests lib? – handras Aug 16 '19 at 09:25
