Perhaps I should compare notes with Elliot, I have a python module that
does browserless credentials for launchpad by using the cookie key
returned from a logon request and then also keys from the launchpad API,
to avoid breaking workflow for the naultius launchpad plugin.

End result is the ability to pair the desktop app and use the lp API for
most things and also manage ssh keys (required for bzr/lp integration)
which is currently not supported by the lp API.
