Don't you think it would be feasible for at least some LDAP
operation methods?

Which ones?

Yes, maybe it's too early.

Hmm, maybe python-ldap sits on top of the wrong LDAP C lib? We
currently do not have Win32 support and it's not thread-safe.

In opposite iPlanet C SDK (see
http://www.mozilla.org/directory/csdk.html) is known to be
thread-safe and is available on various platforms. Unfortunately the
API of the LDAP C SDKs diverged some much that it's unpossible to
#ifdef the differences. It's a decision for either one of those.

Ciao, Michael.
