Not possible to get a list of packages in a component through the API

<jelmer> Ursinha: actually, lp.distributions['ubuntu'].getSeries(name_or_version="oneiric").main_archive.getPublishedSources()
<Ursinha> main_archive is not just main
<Ursinha> it includes universe as well, I was told
<jelmer> ah
<jelmer> I guess you could filter out some packages based on section, though that would be quite slow
<jml> jelmer: not quite! lp.distributions['ubuntu'].main_archive.getPublishedSources(component="main", distro_series=lp.distributions['ubuntu'].getSeries(name_or_version="oneiric"), status="Published")
<Ursinha> In [41]: ubuntu.main_archive
<Ursinha> Out[41]: <archive at https://api.launchpad.net/1.0/ubuntu/+archive/primary>
<jml> oh crap
<Ursinha> ah
<jml> no "component" there
<jml> sorry
<james_w> yeah
* Ursinha looks for a bug

I'd like to get a list of packages in main component in ubuntu, but it's not possible do to that in Launchpad using the API unless iterating all packages like this:

<james_w> you you have to iterate over the return of getPublishedSources
<james_w> and do if publishing_record.component_name != "main": continue

It should be possible to search directly by component instead of doing this.
