Bug Description

I would like to use python-apport in a script which does frequently check some bugreports of mine. For this it would be handy if the cache_dir of the launchpadlib.launchpad.Launchpad object would be configurable instead of being a temporary dir. This would speed-up my script.

Also the creation of a tempdir as cache on apport side seems to be redundant as launchpadlib itself takes care of a temporary cache if no cache location is given to the constructor of a Launchpad object.

I cherrypicked Marco's removal of the temporary cache dir handling. Nice to see this being obsolete.

Would an $APPORT_LAUNCHPAD_CACHE environment variable suit your needs? Or how would you like to configure it?

I personally would like to see in as an argument to the get_crashdb() function, or maybe as optional value in a config file given as the 'conf' argument of this function. But an environment variable would also work for me.

Right, no reason to not do both. So I'll add an env variable and a configuration option.
