import arcpy

#Establish a connection to a Workflow database
conn = arcpy.wmx.Connect(r'c:\test\Workflow.jtc')

#Get a list of Hold types in Workflow database
hold_types = conn.config.getHoldTypes()

#Access a Workflow Job 
job = conn.getJob(99999)

#Find the id of Budget Hold hold type and add a hold on the job
for hold in hold_types:
     if(hold.name=='Budget Hold'):
         job.addHold(hold.id,comment="Insufficient funds for digitization.")
