I have the same problem, I need to send POST request to jenkins with the data in its body. I ended up simply using the undocumented methods `jenkins_open` and `build_job_url` in the mean time:
from six.moves.urllib.request import Request

```
import urllib.parse
import json
import jenkins

server = jenkins.Jenkins(self.server_url)
url = server.build_job_url(job_name)
data = str.encode(urllib.parse.urlencode({'json': json.dumps(params)}))
server.jenkins_open(Request(url, method='POST', data=data))
```
