A set of client-side scripts for interacting with Launchpad.  

'''bugclient''' is a text-mode interactive controller for Launchpad bugs:

duplicate bug: 526117: want a way to propose merge of a new imported/mirror branch
  affects launchpad-code                                      New Undecided
  tags: 
hydrazine(edge) #526117> duplicate 526116
marking 526117 as a duplicate of 526116
    "want a way to propose merge of a new imported/mirror branch"
}}}

'''lp-attach''' attaches a file to a Launchpad bug from the command line:

{{{
lspci -vvnn | lp-attach 123123123
}}}

'''capture-bug-counts.py''' prints some statistics about a project.

'''feed-pqm''' submits approved merge proposals to PQM.  (It may not be suitable for all pqm-using projects.)

'''check-membership''' and '''scan-merge-proposals''' check that proposed merges are by people who've agreed to the [[http://canonical.com/contributors|Canonical Contributor Agreement]].

== iLaunchpad-shell ==

|| Homepage || https://launchpad.net/ilaunchpad-shell ||
|| Packaged || not yet ||
|| Stability || beta ||

Customized ipython shell which makes testing and developing around the launchpad API real fun.

See [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqJaeuliZCk|this video]] for a small demo.

== ssh-import-lp-id ==

|| Homepage || https://launchpad.net/ssh-import ||
|| Packaged || https://launchpad.net/~ssh-import/+archive/ppa/+packages ||
|| Stability || new ||

This utility will securely contact Launchpad.net and retrieve one or more  Launchpad  user's  public  keys,  and append these to the current user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file.  It is quite useful in UEC and EC2 environments if you want to give another user access to the instance.
{{{
