Python JIRA SOAPpy annoying redirect on findIssue

I am trying to do WSDL SOAP connection to our JIRA server using SOAPpy (Python SOAP Library).

All seems to be fine except when I try finding specific issues. Through the web browser looking up the bug ID actually redirects to a bug (with a different ID), however it is the bug in question just moved to a different project.

Attempts to getIssue via the SOAPpy API results in an exceptio开发者_高级运维n that the issue does not exist.

Any way around this?

Thanks

Yes, there's an existing bug on this I've seen. Use the JIRA issue id instead of the key to locate it, as a workaround.
