HI!
Find a new pre-release of python-ldap:
http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/
python-ldap provides an object-oriented API to access LDAP directory
servers from Python programs. It mainly wraps the OpenLDAP 2.x libs for
that purpose. Additionally it contains modules for other LDAP-related
stuff (e.g. processing LDIF, LDAPURLs and LDAPv3 schema).
Download link:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/python-ldap/python-ldap-2.0.0pre07.tar.gz?download
Changes since 2.0.0pre06:
LDAPObject.c:
* Wrapped OpenLDAP's ldap_search_ext()
* Removed empty __doc__ strings
* Removed fileno
* Removed all stuff related to caching in OpenLDAP libs
ldap.ldapobject:
* Fixed SASL rebind in ldap.ldapobject.ReconnectLDAPObject
* use search_ext() instead ldap_search()
* new class attribute timeout for setting a global time-out
value for all synchronous operations
ldap.schema:
* Fixed two typos in ldap.schema.models
* Some attempts to improve performance of parser/tokenizer
* Completely reworked to have separate OID dictionaries for
the different schema element classes
* Fixed the Demo/schema*.py to reflect changes to ldap.schema
Documentation updates and various __doc__ string modifications.
ldapurl:
* Removed all Unicode stuff from module ldapurl
* Consistent URL encoding in module ldapurl
ldif:
* Removed ldif.FileWriter
* Proper handling of FILL (see RFC 2849)
