How to Issue an Asset using python-bitshares

[dc366]

We just created a new UIA. I am setting up a server that users can upload our digital currency. I want my server to then execute a python script that will issue assets to their bitshares account. I am using code from bitshares-python (https://github.com/bitshares/python-bitshares). Can someone show by example how to issue the asset to a particular user?  I have been using transfer function from python-bitshares/bitshares/bitshares.py but I don't think that's the right way. I want to issue not transfer.
