Yes, I think so. I outlined a plan somewhere.. <br>
The big compatibility problem is that where you once used Python2.x's
strings ("str") to pass binary data, you would now have to use
Python3's "bytes".<br>
And, other places where you would pass strings (like for attribute
names) you might now have to pass unicode strings and python-ldap would
convert these to UTF-8 under the covers.<br>
The other minor compatibility issue was that there is no 'int' in
Python3, only longs now, but that turns out to be hardly noticeable.<br>
<br>
But going back to the bytes/string/unicode problem, I'd like to know if
anyone has 2to3 migration/porting experience and if they might share
some advice/wisdom.<br>

Looking in the list i saw that someone said that the actual Python-ldap
can be build for Python 3 modifying some lines. Is this possible? Ar&eacute;
there alternatives?<br>

&gt; Hi to all, I'd like to know if there's a version (alpha, beta or
stable)<br>
&gt; to use ldap in python 3.<br>

There are still some things to consider. Please dig the mailing list's
archive<br>
for some discussion.<br>
    <br>
Would you personally be willing to put some effort into the C extension
module<br>
part?<br>
    <br>
Ciao, Michael.<br>
