JJB didn't actually handle unicode data very well for a couple reasons. First the local yaml loader was loading files into yaml as strings instead of unicode which we should just go ahead and do because yaml's built int loader loads utf-8 by default (and we don't override the default). Second we need to do parameter substitution on unicode and regular strings so change the substitution typecheck to use basestring instead of str. Finally we need to use UTF-8 as the encoding when emitting XML so do that. Add tests to actually test this in the yamlparser tests. The addition of these new tests comes with a little bit of cleanup in the test classes to make sure we load unicode files as utf8 more consistently.

Jenkins Job Builder
Jenkins Job Builder takes simple descriptions of Jenkins jobs in YAML format, and uses them to configure Jenkins. You can keep your job descriptions in human readable text format in a version control system to make changes and auditing easier. It also has a flexible template system, so creating many similarly configured jobs is easy.

Writing a patch
We ask that all code submissions be pep8 and pyflakes clean. The
easiest way to do that is to run tox before submitting code for review
in Gerrit. It will run pep8 and pyflakes in
the same manner as the automated test suite that will run on proposed
patchsets.
When creating new YAML components, please observe the following style conventions:
- All YAML identifiers (including component names and arguments) should be lower-case and multiple word identifiers should use hyphens. E.g., "build-trigger".
- The Python functions that implement components should have the same name as the YAML keyword, but should use underscores instead of hyphens. E.g., "build_trigger".
This consistency will help users avoid simple mistakes when writing YAML, as well as developers when matching YAML components to Python implementation.
Installing without setup.py
For YAML support, you will need libyaml installed.
Mac OS X:
$ brew install libyamlThen install the required python packages using pip:
$ sudo pip install PyYAML python-jenkins
