Yes, I meant lp.SOMETHING and the reason was that I would like the
project to be perceived as "a launchpad thing" rather than "a thing
for launchpad". This is why I have used the lp namespace consistently
with the rest of the Launchpad project, followed naming conventions,
respected coding guidelines, etc.

There is no rush to publish my project on pypi.python.org, so I would
like to help build a good story. For example, I have a recurring dream
of extracting the Librarian from Launchpad as a standalone project. Would
having two projects under the lp namespace help build this story?
