It abstracts the underlying HTTP communication (via httplib2) and REST protocol details (via lazr.restfulclient) into Python objects representing Launchpad entities like projects, bugs, branches, and teams.\n\nThe library supports both anonymous and authenticated access through OAuth tokens, with optional keyring integration for credential storage. It is officially supported by Launchpad and maintained as a stable, production-ready tool for automation, scripting, and integration workflows that interact with Launchpad-hosted projects.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to automate or integrate with Launchpad-hosted projects. The library is production-stable, supports modern Python versions (3.8\u20133.13), has low install friction, and carries no known vulnerabilities. The dormant maintenance status (575 days since release) is a minor concern for long-term support, but the stable API and LGPL v3 license are clear. Install only if you are actively working with Launchpad; it is not a general-purpose tool."},"id":"launchpadlib","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/launchpadlib","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/launchpadlib.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/launchpadlib/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-01-16","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"launchpadlib","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Script Launchpad through its web services interfaces.
