The python standard library comes with a netrc module (
https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/netrc.html ) for a long while now .
Using that to extract the credentials is as simple as:

import netrc
...
...
netrc_cfg = netrc.netrc()    # defaults to using ~/.netrc
username, _, password = netrc_cfg.authenticators('server.name')

...which can then be use to construct the Jenkins instance from python-
jenkins.

If however, the maintainer feels like this would be good to build into
python-jenkins itself, I'm happy to submit a patch.
