python-ldap as replication client

[Jeroen v. M. (K. Systems) <van...@ko...>]

Hello dear list members,

Please allow me to thank you and shortly introduce myself as I'm new to the 
list; My name is Jeroen van Meeuwen, I'm Dutch and I live in the United 
Kingdom, where I work for a Swiss company in Free Software groupware 
solutions, Kolab Systems.

I'm looking to implement LDAP_CONTROL_SYNC(*) capabilities to python-ldap's 
ldap.controls, and while I do have some experience in several areas, 
admittedly compared to you I'm probably the most under-qualified programmer to 
actually do it.

That said, I first wanted to ask whether something like python-ldap becoming a 
replication client (through server controls) was feasible in your opinion(s). 
I think RFC 3928[1] is the corresponding standard. Another standard was 
proposed in RFC 4533[2] but that one bounced in favor of the former.

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

Jeroen van Meeuwen
