Has it ever been resolved somehow? So far this is the only solution I
could find.

Title:
  Jenkins HTTPS Basic Auth fails with Python 3.5

Status in Python Jenkins:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I tried the example one from the document with python-jenkins 1.3.0 on
  Ubuntu 16.04.5 x64 with stock Python 3.5.2 with HTTPS and SSL cert
  verification disabled :

  =====
  import os
  import jenkins
  os.environ['PYTHONHTTPSVERIFY'] = "0"

  server = jenkins.Jenkins('https://<my jenkins server>:8443/jenkins',
      username='user', password='password')

  user = server.get_whoami()
  version = server.get_version()

  print('Hello %s from Jenkins %s' % (user['fullName'], version))
  ======

  And I got this error:

  jenkins.JenkinsException: Error in request. Possibly authentication
  failed [401]:

  After digging into python-jenkins code, I found out this one at line
  317 in __init__.py:

  =====
  if username is not None and password is not None:
      self._auths[0] = (
          'basic',
          requests.auth.HTTPBasicAuth(
              username.encode('utf-8'), password.encode('utf-8'))
      )
  =====

  the "encode('utf-8')" would make username and password binary strings
  and in requests.auth:

  =====
  def _basic_auth_str(username, password):
      """Returns a Basic Auth string."""

      authstr = 'Basic ' + to_native_string(
          b64encode(('%s:%s' % (username, password)).encode('latin1')).strip()
      )

      return authstr
  =====
  the parameter passed to b64encode() would become "b'user':b'password'" so the authentication would fail.

  So far I remove encode('utf-8') in __init__.py so it would work. Just
  curious: is it my problem or how would this work with encode('utf-8')
  ?

  OS: Ubuntu 16.04.5 X64
  Python: 3.5.2 (stock)
  Python-jenkins: 1.3.0
  requests: 2.9.1

  Thanks for your attention.
