Bug Description

There does not seem to be a +bugs-text test listing for bugs assigned to a person. For example I went to https://bugs.launchpad.net/~brian-murray/+assignedbugs/+bugs-text and found that it does not exist. I also tried https://bugs.launchpad.net/~brian-murray/+assignedbugs-text and that did not work either. I think having a text interface for all permutations of of https://bugs.launchapd.net/~username would be quite useful.

Once this exists python-launchpad-bugs will need to have support added for whatever the url for the text interface ends up being.

In the interim bughelper and python-launchpad-bugs could be more helpful when reporting an error. I received the following message with this query "bugnumbers -l "https://bugs.launchpad.net/~brian-murray/+assignedbugs":

Error while parsing '<launchpadbugs.basebuglistfilter.URLBugListFilter object at 0x13a7b90>': "'Page not found (url: https://bugs.launchpad.net/~brian-murray/+assignedbugs/+bugs-text)'".

I think informing the user to try --parsemode=html would be helpful.

Hi Brian,
I think we should not change anything in py-lp-bugs. If py-lp-bugs is unable to parse a page it just raises an error and it is the job of the script using py-lp-bugs interpreting this error.

Working on a solution for bugnumbers

This patch against bughelper.main rev196 adds a clearer error-meesage and a hint to try "--parsemode=html" to bugnumbers.

$ python -W ignore bugnumbers -l "https://bugs.launchpad.net/~brian-murray/+assignedbugs"
Error while parsing 'https://bugs.launchpad.net/~brian-murray/+assignedbugs': "'Page not found (url: https://bugs.launchpad.net/~brian-murray/+assignedbugs/+bugs-text)'".
Please try using "--parsemode=html"
