Native python LDAP?

[Rich M. <ri...@ne...>]

Has anyone ever thought about doing a native (not based on ldap sdk 
binaries) python LDAP client?  Something like Net::LDAP (which is a very 
nice object model, even though it's perl).  It depends on several 
modules being available.  For example, is there a python ASN.1 parser?  
Most everything else is already available in python - sockets, ssl, etc.
