Hi...
(Apologies for any typos.)
I am probably an experienced hand here... ;oD
Think of a fairly difficult project that you think shell scripting might not be able to do.
Jump in right at the deep end and start with something simple pertaining to that project.
That is exactly what I did. It was at the beginning of this year when I joined
and I knew little or nothing about shell scripting and I started bragging I was going to
do a pure text mode shell based AudioScope.
I suspect the guys on here thought "here we go again" but once the second upload was
posted I started to attain interest from my mentors. This code has eveloved into
something totally different for shell scripting and a lot of input came voluntarily from
the big guns on here...
So, upload your first incarnation here and I guarantee that once you get these guys and
gals attention you will be steered into the right direction.
The basics will soon stick and along with the accrued knowledge of the pros on here
some seriously clever stuff will start to become understandable. If you work out a
routine and it works but you are not happy with say its speed someone will comment
on an alternative. Also they will even volunteer ideas to enhance your project and will
even explain how some lines of code actually work if you ask them.
I have as near as dammit dumped Python for shell stuff purely because of some of its
limitations and finding out how to work around them...
You will soon get to _know_ the gurus that regularly give replies so keep your eyes
open for some clever tricks of the trade...
Enjoy...

NAME
lp-shell - Open an interactive launchpadlib shell.
SYNOPSIS
lp-shell [-a] [-cPROGRAM] [--python] [--ipython] [service] [LP API version]
DESCRIPTION
lp-shell opens an interactive Python shell with a launchpadlib.Launchpad object "lp" which is ready for use.
It authenticates against Launchpad with the consumer name "udt-lp-shell". When using lp-shell with the -a option it will use the anonymous

By default lp-shell connects to the "production" Launchpad service using the "1.0" LP API version.
If you want to connect to another Launchpad service, call lp-shell with the service name as the second argument. lp-shell supports all ser-
vices known by launchpadlib Python module. Currently known are (list can be incomplete or outdated): "production", "staging", "dogfood".
A different LP API version can be selected by passing the API version to use as the third argument. Current supported are: "beta", "1.0"
and "devel".
