Normally when you write some code using launchpadlib you end up with Launchpad showing your users something like this:
This isn't great, how is the user supposed to know which option to click? What do you do if they don't choose the option you want?
Instead it's possible to limit the choices that the user has to make to only those that your application can use, plus the option to deny all access, by changing the way you create your Launchpad object.
from launchpadlib.launchpad import Launchpad
lp = Launchpad.get_token_and_login("testing", allow_access_levels=["WRITE_PUBLIC"])
This will present your users with something like this:
which is easier to understand. There could be further improvements, but they would happen on the Launchpad side.
This approach works for both Launchpad.get_token_and_login and Launchpad.login_with.
The values that you can pass here aren't documented, and should probably be constants in launchpadlib, rather than hardcoded in every application, but for now you can use:
- READ_PUBLIC
- READ_PRIVATE
- WRITE_PUBLIC
- WRITE_PRIVATE
