python-ldap provides an object-oriented API to access LDAP directory
servers from Python programs. It mainly wraps the OpenLDAP 2.x libs for
that purpose. Additionally it contains modules for other LDAP-related
stuff (e.g. processing LDIF, LDAPURLs and LDAPv3 schema).

----------------------------------------------------------------
Released 2.0.0pre12 2003-05-27

Changes since 2.0.0pre11:

New sub-module ldap.filter:
* Added functions escape_filter_chars() and filter_format()

ldap.ldapobject:
* Trace log writes LDAP URI of connection instead of module name
* search_s() passes self.timeout as argument timeout when
   calling search_ext_s()
* Key-word arguments for simple_bind() and simple_bind_s()
   with defaults for anonymous bind.
* LDAPObject.protocol_version is set to LDAPv3 as default
   (this might make code changes necessary in a real LDAPv2
    environment)
* Default for key-word argument trace_stack_limit passed to
   __init__() is 5
* Updated __doc__ strings
* Aligned and tested ReconnectLDAPObject and SmartLDAPObject

ldap.async:
* LDIFWriter uses ldif.LDIFWriter instead of calling
   function ldif.CreateLDIF
* LDIFWriter accepts either file-like object or ldif.LDIFWriter
   instance as argument for specifying the output

ldif:
* Abandoned argument all_records of LDIFRecordList.__init__()

ldapurl:
* urllib.unquote() used instead of urllib.unquote_plus()
