🎀 NAME 🎀

lp-shell — open an interactive launchpadlib shell. periodt.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

lp-shell [-a] [-cPROGRAM] [--python] [--ipython] [service] [LP API
version]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the vibe: lp-shell pops open an interactive Python shell for you, and inside it there's a launchpadlib.Launchpad object called lp that's already set up and ready to go. no setup arc, no origin story, it just works. main character energy fr fr 🌟

It authenticates against Launchpad using the consumer name udt-lp-shell. But bestie, if you run lp-shell with the -a option, it'll use the anonymous login from launchpadlib.Launchpad instead — lowkey incognito mode 🕶️

By default, lp-shell connects to the production Launchpad service and uses the 1.0 LP API version. the standard, the classic, the iconic.

Want a different Launchpad service? Just call lp-shell and pass the service name as the second argument. lp-shell supports all services known by the launchpadlib Python module. Currently known are (tho heads up, this list can be incomplete or outdated 🙈): production, staging, dogfood.

And if you want a different LP API version, pass the API version you want as the third argument. Currently supported are: beta, 1.0, and devel. choose your fighter ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -a — login anonymously into Launchpad. no name, no trace, just vibes 🫥
  • -c PROGRAM — don't enter a shell at all, bestie; just run the specified Python program and then exit. in-and-out, we love a quick errand 🏃♀️
  • --ipython — use an ipython shell if it's available. this one's the default, so it's the one you're getting unless you say otherwise 👑
  • --python — use a regular python shell. classic. reliable. no notes. 🐍
