YouTrack issue is considered closed when it's State is resolved. In a single project multiple states can be marked as resolved (Done, Duplicate, Canceled and so on) and so there is no way to close an issue automatically.

Let's say your final state is Done and your project does not have a state-machine rule in your workflow (i.e. transitions from any state to any state are allowed). Then the operation would be as simple as issue["State"] = "Done" or connection.execute_command(issue_id="<issue_id>", command='State Done').

Now if your workflow only allows to go to Done only from In progress and your target issue is New, then you would have to execute multiple operations and transition through your workflow, same as you would in web UI.

Let me know if you have any further issues.
