Find projects that use a particular programming language in Launchpad?

As Marco Ceppi has pointed me towards launchpadlib, I wrote a little script that will do this for you. alt text download it here

Run the script by calling python name_of_the_script.py in a Terminal after you've downloaded and saved it. It will ask you for a programming language, case insensitive, and a search query (where wildcards, *, are allowed). If you leave either of them blank, it will search across all, rather than none.

You'll need to install python-launchpadlib before you can use it.

Here's some example output:

stefano@3000-G530:~$ python test.py 
Enter a programming language or leave blank to find projects in all languages:
>>> Python

Launchpad doesn't have this functionality. The request for it is bug #2630, which you may want to subscribe to.
