This is devastating for non-Ubuntu developers. launchpadlib is only available for Ubuntu, since the documented build procedure for launchpadlib does not work, and there is no help from the launchpadlib team. So us non-Ubuntu folk are left with the "API/Hacking" method, even if we want to work with Python.

The problem reported by Max, above, makes LaunchPad integration impossible for non-launchpadlib developers like myself. All authentication attempts fail with the fallacious message about "Unknown consumer". If I ask for JSON back from my request token request, it clearly shows that it is indeed using my supplied consumer key . Is it not clear that this bug should be high priority?

As this ticket has sat for a year, I guess I'll dig into the launchpadlib code and see what it is in there that causes it to work despite the procedure in the API/Hacking page not working (as proven by Max with openssl and myself with Java).
