The intention was to make integration of LP and a consumer as painless as 
possible for developers. I was aware of launchpad-request-token in 
launchpadlib, but wanted to both generate settings which could be copied 
directly (e.g. to local/setting.py in the case of SSO) and avoid browser 
interaction.
