Re: ReconnectLDAPObject doesn't reconnect after main failure

[Alain S. <asp...@gm...>]

This is a good point of view!
Anyway I try my _LAST_ arguments.

Python is a language made to help and facilitate the developer work :
- the developer dont need to test the result of any function, python
(or the library) raise an exception if something is wrong.
- the developer dont need to worry about the memory allocation, the
garbage collector do it for him.
- the developer dont need to close a file, the system do it for him
when the object is released
- the developer don't need to worry for long living LDAP connection,
ReconnectLDAPObject  auto reconnect automatically for him :-)
- python-ldap is also thread safe .....

Then why does the developer have to encapsulate any ldap statement into a

try:
except ldap.SERVER_DOWN,e:
    SimpleLDAPObject.unbind_s(self)

whereas=09the library can do it for him

Anyway we made a good job !

Tanks for your support.
