init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ssl_verify'

Currently, I am trying to make a Jenkins API request with Python; however, I am getting in return a certificate error.

In order to bypass this (and take the easy way out) I'm calling a jenkins request with the parameter ssl_verify = False.

But the program still returns

__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ssl_verify'

The code looks something like this:

server = jenkins.Jenkins(URL, username, password, ssl_verify=False)

I also tried the following call:

server = jenkins.Jenkins(URL, requester=Requester(username, password, baseurl, ssl_verify=False)

For the latter, I receive the error:

__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'requester'

I know declaring ssl verify = False is not the safest option but I'm trying to make this easy.

Any help or answers will be much appreciated. Thanks.

which version of python? Which package and version of jenkin you have used? – Anthony Kong Nov 09 '17 at 00:21
python 2.7.5 ; jenkins 2.68 – boppa Nov 09 '17 at 00:24
Which python jenkin packges you are using? python-jenkin? jenkin-webapi? There are so many of them – Anthony Kong Nov 09 '17 at 00:26
You're not lying... the version is jenkinsapi-0.3.4 six-1.11.0 --- just updated to the latest version of this – boppa Nov 09 '17 at 00:29
Pretty sure you have another jenkins packages installed which has a different constructor. Try `pip list` to see if there is another jenkins package – Anthony Kong Nov 09 '17 at 00:41
Another possibility is you might have a local module by the same name which shadowed the `jenkinsapi` package – Anthony Kong Nov 09 '17 at 00:43
