Hudson 3.0.0 no longer supports /api/python interface

[c.jones@…]

The HudsonTracPlugin requires that hudson makes available the API for python on the URL /api/python at the moment, however now that Eclipse have taken on hudson, and version 3.0.0 has been released, the python API is no longer supported. Once hudson is upgraded to version 3.0.0 you get this error in the TRAC timeline:

Trac Error

Hudson Builds event provider (HudsonTracPlugin) failed:
IOError: Error getting build info from 
'http://myserver:8080/job/jobname/api/python?
tree=builds[building,timestamp,duration,result,description,url,
fullDisplayName,changeSet[items[revision,id,user,author[fullName]]],
culprits[fullName],actions[causes[userName]]]': 
HTTPError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found. 
This most likely means you configured a wrong job_url, username, or password.

See discussion here, that explains the python interface is no longer supported: ​http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/457665/

Apparently though, the api is almost identical to the JSON interface anyway, so perhaps HudsonTracPlugin can be fairly easily modified to point to /api/json instead?
