Continuing with Launchpad APIs for PPAs, let's illustrate how to find sources within a PPA.
Sources can be found, basically, by name, version, distroseries and status by calling getPublishedSources on a target archive.
>>> def test_source_lookup(lp):
... ppa = lp.people['ubuntu-mozilla-daily'].archive
... ubuntu = lp.distributions['ubuntu']
... jaunty = ubuntu.getSeries(name_or_version='jaunty')
... last_firefox = ppa.getPublishedSources(
... source_name='firefox-3.5', status='Published', distro_series=jaunty,
... exact_match=True)[0]
... print last_firefox.displayname
When it run, the output is:
firefox-3.5 3.5~b4~hg20090415r24712+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~umd1 in jaunty
Play with the arguments, also instead of fetching the first item (most recent one) from the collection you may iterate over it.
