JIRA authentication using gmail in python

Question

I am trying to authenticate in jira using google login using python script. I am using jira python library.

I tried using basic_auth , but failed with an error because my account is registered through gmail.

 jira=JIRA(options,basic_auth=(values['USERNAME'],values['PASSWORD']));

When you first logged in as a Google user, you will be prompted to create an “OnDemand” password, used for things like Subversion or authenticated access to the RSS feed. This is the password you need to use when using the JIRA API.

If you cannot remember this password, see https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/AOD/Changing+Your+Password+ in ++ Atlassian OnDemand
