The goal:
Get web2ldap-0.8.3 to work.

http://www.web2ldap.de/install.html says it wants:
python 2.0 and 1.8+ of python-ldap.
Grabbed python 2.0, python-ldap1.10.alpha3, and openldap2.0.7


My normal reference platform is FreeBSD (hence the CC's.)  But the target
for the day is a RedHat 7.0 box.  The man ldap_open says:

At this  time, ldap_init() is preferred.  ldap_open() will be  depreciated in a later release.


My questions 3:
Has anyone else started or re-done the ldap_open() calles to
ldap_init() in python_ldap?
If I live in the past of Python 1.5 and OpenLdap 1.2.X, what kind of
nasty fate awaits me?
What is the airspeed of a swallow?
