Invoke webjob from python

Is it possible to invoke a webjob from python?
I currently have a web app and webjob on azure. My webjob is set to triggered/manual and want to run it from python code whenever user does a specific action.
something like this from c#:

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create("https://<web appname>.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/triggeredwebjobs/<web job name>/run");
request.Method = "POST";
var byteArray = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("user:password"); 
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Basic "+ Convert.ToBase64String(byteArray));            
request.ContentLength = 0;

I did some research and I saw one post that suggested to use azure-sdk-for-python. But I'm not sure if that was any help as far as "triggering the webjob".

If you need simply to post a request to the azure, you can use a httplib (http.client in Python 3) like this:

import base64, httplib
headers = {"Authorization": "Basic " + base64.b64encode("user:password")}

conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("https://<web appname>.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/triggeredwebjobs/<web job name>/run")
conn.request("POST", "", "", headers)
response = conn.getresponse()
print response.status, response.reason

If you need some more complicated, you better investigate the azure-sdk-for-python package, but I can't see there anything about the webjobs right now.

This works with postman: enter image description here
