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 Currently known are (list can be incomplete or outdated): "production", "staging", "dogfood".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