Full Discussion: Stop Writing Scripts

Over the top. You are making many assumptions and of course you are making several incorrect statements. With that said, nothing wrong with putting together your own "world"... as long as it works and is well supported. So if you believe a python workflows (or whatever) is the "right answer", certainly you are free to do that. If you believe a workflow paradigm is the way the world should be crafted (even if not python based)... again, you are free to do that. There are many ways to solve problems. So I have no problem with a workflow paradigm.... but solutions should be able to implement whatever style best fits the situation.

I will never tell someone to stop writing scripts. Python, shell or otherwise.

Btw, it's a valid argument to say that Python is a lower level language than (Bourne) shell script. Just saying.

lp-shell

lp-shell(1)						      General Commands Manual						       lp-shell(1)

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
       login from launchpadlib.Launchpad.

       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  Currently known are (list can be incomplete or outdated): "production", "staging", "dogfood".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".

OPTIONS

       -a     Login anonymously into Launchpad.

       -c PROGRAM
	      Don't enter a shell but only run the specified Python program and exit.

       --ipython
	      Use an ipython shell if available (default).

       --python
	      Use a regular python shell.
