How to set the build description via Jenkins REST API or Python?

Is there any way (like Jenkins REST API or Python module) to set the existing jenkins build's build description ?

Many thanks :)

Can Jenkins call REST API?

Jenkins provides rich set of REST based APIs. The REST API feature can be enabled per Job basis. To enable REST API trigger for a Job, Navigate to Your JobName ->Configure -> Build triggers TAB and Check on 'Trigger build remotely'.

It seems this problem was resolved in this question, as follows:

curl -u $USER:$PASSWORD --data-urlencode "description=$new_description" \
    --data-urlencode "Submit=Submit" \
    "$jenkins_url/job/$job_name/$build_number/submitDescription"
