Nice work, very helpful to me, thanks.

So good I made a Python 3 version.

Used this to extrapolate the poorly documented Jenkins api. Thanks!

Hi all,
when I use the function named downloadFile(url,filename), the code raised an error:

curl.perform()
pycurl.error: (18, 'transfer closed with 933650432 bytes remaining to read')

Do you have any ideas?

i can't import cStringIo, can anyone help me?
