Build job in Jenkins through python script

I want to Trigger an Build Job in Jenkins through python-jenkins package.I used the Below code for test_api job but it is not working.How can i Build through Script..

import jenkins
j = jenkins.Jenkins('http://your_url_here', 'username', 'password')
print j.get_jobs()
url=j.build_job_url('test_api', parameters=None, token=None)
print url
last_build_number = j.get_job_info('test_api')['lastCompletedBuild'] ['number']
print "last_build_number",last_build_number
build_info=j.get_build_info('test_api',last_build_number)
if build_info['result']=='SUCCESS':
    print " Build Success "
else:
    print " Build Failed "
    log=j.get_build_console_output('test_api',last_build_number)
    f=open('log_buildFail.txt','w')
    f.write(log)
    f.close()

It returns the Build url path after the build.

I am using build_job method to trigger a job and it works for me.

build_job(name, parameters=None, token=None)
    Trigger build job.

    Parameters: 
    name – name of job
    parameters – parameters for job, or None, dict
    token – Jenkins API token

Here is an example of mine:

#!/usr/bin/python
# coding: utf-8
import jenkins
ci_jenkins_url = "http://my-jenkins-url/"
username = "foo"
token = "fa818f4f90621a4e69de563516098689"
job = "test-job"
j = jenkins.Jenkins(ci_jenkins_url, username=username, password=token)

if __name__ == "__main__":
      j.build_job(job, {'token': token})

You can get token from http://my-jenkins-url/user/foo/configure and then click show API Token....
For those who are new to Jenkins Python API, please reference to Jenkins Python API Link.
