ldap.controls in python-ldap 2.4

[Michael S. <mi...@st...>]

HI!

Since I'm working more with LDAPv3 controls now I've cleaned up sub-module
ldap.controls. Still work in progress...

Unfortunately it would be too cumbersome to maintain backward compability. So
python-ldap 2.4 will very likely break applications working with LDAPv3
controls. My application code will also be heavily affected.

I can understand that this will make many people unhappy. But IMO it's the
only way to clean up this mess and come up with a much more convenient API for
dealing with controls. Better to do it now than later.

Ciao, Michael.
