That's fine. Could someone please give me a hand with the distutil 
stuff? (Joe?)

At the moment, I have no plans for an high-level python interface. What 
I plan to do (and have paritally done) is a simple wrapper for the C 
functions in ldap_schema (i.e. str2objectclass and friends). Is it ok 
to just plug these wrappers into function.c? Saves some hazzles with 
distutlis... 

Probably it would be necessary to plug this into the 
Lib/ldap/functions.py mechanism, right? I am not really sure if the 
underlying C functions are thread safe...


For example:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
import ldap

a = ldap.str2objectclass("(2.5.6.4 NAME 'organization' SUP top 
STRUCTURAL MUST o MAY ( userPassword $ searchGuide $ seeAlso $ 
businessCategory $ x121Address $ registeredAddress $ 
destinationIndicator $ preferredDeliveryMethod $ telexNumber $ 
teletexTerminalIdentifier $ telephoneNumber $ internationaliSDNNumber $ 
facsimileTelephoneNumber $ street $ postOfficeBox $ postalCode $ 
postalAddress $ physicalDeliveryOfficeName $ st $ l $ description ) )")

print a
------------------------------------------------------------------------

returns

------------------------------------------------------------------------
['2.5.6.4', ['organization'], '', 0, ['top'], 1, ['o'], 
['userPassword', 'searchGuide', 'seeAlso', 'businessCategory', 
'x121Address', 'registeredAddress', 'destinationIndicator', 
'preferredDeliveryMethod', 'telexNumber', 'teletexTerminalIdentifier', 
'telephoneNumber', 'internationaliSDNNumber', 
'facsimileTelephoneNumber', 'street', 'postOfficeBox', 'postalCode', 
'postalAddress', 'physicalDeliveryOfficeName', 'st', 'l', 
'description']]
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fields are 

1. oid
2. List of names
3. Description string
4. Obsolete flag
5. List of SUP oid's
6. "kind" flag (0=ABSTRACT, 1=STRUCTURAL, 2=AUXILIARY)
7. list of "must" attributes
8. list of "may" attributes

BTW. does anybody know what the LDAPSchemaExtensionItem is about?
