After deleting the necessary files and installing via the .exe, the import =

successful from both the command line and ASP.

Python version:

I wrapped the traceback to make sure we were getting a full traceback as it=

didn't look terribly helpful.  The code on that page is as follows:

<%@ LANGUAGE=3D"Python" %>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>

import sys
if(Server.MapPath('/admin/libs') not in sys.path):
	sys.path.append(Server.MapPath('/admin/libs'))
=09
Response.write(str(sys.version) + '<br>')

try:
	import ldap
except ImportError, err:
	(t, val, tb) =3D sys.exc_info()
	import traceback
	msg =3D  '-----------------------------------------------------<br>'
	msg +=3D 'Traceback:\n'
	msg +=3D '<br>'.join(traceback.format_tb(tb)) + '<br>'
	msg +=3D '%s: %s<br>' % (t, val)

This is with ActivePython, but it might have the same problem :(  I've used=
=20
ldap with=20
Python 2.3.3 (#1, May 25 2004, 08:52:15)
[GCC 3.3.2 20031218 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r5, propolice-3.3-7)] on linux2
and it seems to work fine.  I'll watch for the segfaults...
