Re: python-ldap on PyPI

[Torsten K. <pyt...@tk...>]

Hi folks,

I just created a first .egg of python-ldap.
Using a standard Linux distribution, like Gentoo, this can easily be
replayed:

0. Make sure that you have a recent version of openldap, openssl and
cyrus-sasl libraries and headers installed.

1. If not already done so, follow the instructions at
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#installing-easy-install

2. Download and unpack the latest python-ldap tarball (2.3)

3. cd into python-ldap-2.3 and apply the attached (and hopefully
unmangled) patch as follows
patch -p1 <path/to/python-ldap-2.3-setuptools.diff

4. Run
python setup.py bdist_egg

5. If everything went well, you'll have a python-ldap-egg in the newly
created subfolder dist, e.g.
python_ldap-2.3-py2.4-linux-i686.egg

If things don't work or you are too lazy to try these steps, you may
test my precompiled egg at
http://svn.kmrc.de/download/distribution/python_ldap-2.3-py2.4-linux-i686.egg

It is linked against
- openssl 0.9.8e
- cyrus-sasl-2.1.22
- openldap-2.3.35
- glibc-2.5

Any feedback is highly appriciated!

Best regards,
Torsten
