Replacing password with PAT not working

[pkalbhor]

Hi,
I was trying to authenticate using personal access token instead of a password using

jira = JIRA('http://its.cern.ch/jira', basic_auth=('username', 'Personal access token')

It gives authentication failure.

Basic Authentication Failure - Reason : AUTHENTICATED_FAILED

However, using actual password works. Please tell me if I am doing it in the wrong way. The user guide says the same.
