Bug Description

If you accidentally recorded a bug as occurring in a particular project/package, and nobody else has changed its data (status/importance/assignee/milestone) for that project/package, you should have permission to delete that line from the bug report. And if you are the maintainer of a project, you should be able to delete the line regardless.

This is the task-specific counterpart to bug 1156. When this (and possibly bug 1156 too) is fixed, all bugtasks filed under the NULL project <https://launchpad.net/null> should be deleted, and so should the project itself.

The API change is now live and here's an example script to use it:

from launchpadlib.launchpad import Launchpad

def test_delete_bugtask(bug_num, pillar_name):
    lp = Launchpad.login_with(
        'testing', service_root=uris.LPNET_SERVICE_ROOT, version='devel')
    bug = lp.bugs[bug_num]
    bugtasks = bug.bug_tasks
    if len(bugtasks) == 1:
        print "This bug has no extra bugtasks to be deleted."
    else:
        for bugtask in bugtasks:
            if bugtask.target.name == pillar_name:
                bugtask.lp_delete()
                print "deleted task for %s on bug %d." % (pillar_name, bug_num)
