I found this script and needed it, so I fixed the issues with the current (June 2019) apis to make it run.

Hey, I also need the same script, using your script, it's work ;). I focus on project (not group).

I need to add some change in order to avoid error in Jira serach filter :

    search_filter = 'project='+JIRA_PROJECT+' AND summary ~ \''+ issue.title.replace( "'", "\\'" ).replace( "[", " " ).replace( ">", " " ).replace( "]", " " ).replace( "!", " " ) +'\''
    print '\n Search : %s' %search_filter
   found_issues = jira.search_issues( search_filter )

• '-' work find in jira search
• '-->' DO not work (-> OK, <- OK, <-- OK, -- OK), need to be replace by space.
• '!' is not allow in search'
• '[' and ']' are not allow

In general, replace it with space instead of "", because filter not work. Example : docker-compose, filter dockercompose not match but filter docker compose match.

Great script!
Are you planning to update the script to support python 3?
