The entry point for the API docs is here: https://help.launchpad.net/API

To get you started, the following example should work for your first use case:

----

#!/usr/bin/python

from launchpadlib.launchpad import Launchpad

PPAOWNER = 'andrewsomething'
PPANAME = 'typecatcher'

lp_login = Launchpad.login_anonymously('ppastats',
                                       'edge',
                                       '~/.launchpadlib/cache/',
                                       version='devel')
owner = lp_login.people[PPAOWNER]
archive = owner.getPPAByName(name=PPANAME)

for p in archive.getPublishedSources(status='Published'):
    print p.source_package_name, p.source_package_version
