/Me thinks I will have a go...

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 Currently known are (list can be incomplete or outdated): "production", "staging", "dogfood".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