Re: why didn't it work?

[Jens V. <je...@zo...>]

actually it does not work well in the latest python-ldap. importing =
_ldap=20
will not raise an ImportError. but _ldap is crippled and will blow up =
the=20
first time you try to call something with it.

everywhere i go on the python-ldap.sourceforge.net site the docs talk of=20=

the "_ldap" module and code examples use "import _ldap". that's probably=20=

why i assumed that that's the canonical way of doing things.

i'm just wondering why in the world that's deprecated now and importing=20=

ldap is the only way it works.
