Hydrazine

A set of client-side scripts for interacting with Launchpad. For example, bugclient provides a text-mode interactive controller for Launchpad bugs:

hydrazine(edge) #526078> bug 526117
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"

See also capture-bug-counts.py, which prints statistics about a project, and the other scripts in Hydrazine.

iLaunchpad-shell

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

See this video for a small demo.

ssh-import-lp-id

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.

       ssh-import-lp-id [launchpad_id_1] [launchpad_id_2] [launchpad_id_3] ...
