Attached is what Jenkins returns when calling build_job.  Here is the
important part:

You must use POST method to trigger builds. (From scripts you may
instead pass a per-project authentication token, or authenticate with
your API token.) If you see this page, it may be because a plugin
offered a GET link; file a bug report for that plugin.


is there any other way to trigger a build with this library in the mean time?

Title:
  build_job with parameters fails since POST is not used.

Status in Python API for Jenkins:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Jenkins requires a POST when a job URL has parameters.  Since python-
  jenkins does not pass urllib2.urlopen a data value a GET is used
  instead.  This results in a failure and the Jenkins error page is
  returned.

  To reproduce this bug:

  - Create a job with parameters.
  - In ipython:
  import jenkins
  j = jenkins.Jenkins(url)
  j.build_job(job_name, {param : value})

  This will fail.
