[Joe L. <jl...@op...>]

Ok.. though I think having the c headers/docs around is a good thing 
for python-ldap developers, I have relaxed the dependencies and made a 
better distinction between dependencies and prereqs (the latter 
provides ordering, required for python site-packages)

You'll find new python-ldap RPM/SRPMS for RedHat 7.3 and 8.0 on 
ftp.open-it.org

Enjoy.

I guess you need convincing only on the openldap-devel package :-). Let me
try. For C libraries a "library" package (the openldap package in this case)
and a "devel" package make sense. The devel package usually contains the
needed headers and archive libraries in case applications need to link
statically. End users, i.e. users who use applications linked to OpenLDAP do
not need to install -devel packages.

For python (and java), the distinction does not exist.  As a developer, I
obviously will install openldap-devel for looking at the documentation or
for developing C applications. However, the end user installing my
python-ldap application should not need to install openldap-devel.

Thank you very much for packaging python-ldap rpm. I am a Debian developer
but use Redhat at work. Your work saved me a lot of time :-).

I have a bunch of ideas like this. But I have to make up my mind how to=20

Since python-ldap is a Python module it cannot be compliant to RFC 1823 
which specifies a LDAP C API. It can only be inspired by it.

Also note that all LDAP C APIs available shifted away from RFC 1823 since it 
does not cover newer features.

Most remarkable for python-ldap 2.0.x is that OpenLDAP 2.x implements 
draft-ietf-ldapext-ldap-c-api. This draft is expired though.

Well, I am.

To be exact. I am interested in the functionality provided by
set_rebind_proc, not necessarily in its implementation.

The last time I looked into this issue, I did not see an easy way how
to build a wrapper class which encapsulates the rebinding. Do you
have more ideas in this direction? I'm not sure when I'll find the
time to work on this, but I may be able to contribute an
implementation.

I currently use an implementation that is backward compatible with
OpenLDAP 1.x. The main reason is my application works both on Unix and
WinNT. Since I don't actively support WinNT (esp. I don't have the
infrastructure to build C-Code on NT), I depend on pre-built
packages. The last time I checked, I didn't find any python-ldap-2.x
package for windows.

Comment on documentation

[Ganesan R <rga...@my...>]

Hi,

The documentation for the LDAP add operation reads (See
http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/doc/python-ldap/node11.html)

------
add(dn, modlist)
add_s(dn, modlist)

This function is similar to modify(), except that the operation integer is
omitted from the tuples in modlist. You might want to like into sub-module
ldap.modlist for generating modlist.  
------

Apart from the typo there (like into sub-module instead of look into
sub-module), the description seems to imply that add is a short cut for
modify with LDAP_MOD_ADD. I'd change that to

add(dn, modlist)
add_s(dn, modlist)

Performs an LDAP add operation on dn. The dn argument is the distinguished
name (DN) of the entry to add, and addlist is a list of attributes to be
added. The modlist is similar the one passed to modify(), except that the
operation integer is omitted from the tuples in modlist.  You might want to
look into sub-module ldap.modlist for generating the modlist.

I didn't mean python-ldap distribution to turn on SSL by default. Redhat =
7.3
OpenLDAP libraries ship with SSL option compiled in. So it makes sense fo=
r
the RPM to be built with the option turned on. Again, this is an issue fo=

the package maintainer.

What do you mean with "by default"?

If you build python-ldap yourself you can tweak setup.cfg to reflect your 
needs and configuration. Note that OpenLDAP also has to be built and 
installed with option --with-tls before. When shipping python-ldap one 
cannot foresee your particular system configuration.

this problem has nothing to do with zope. the ldap module zope is
trying to import is messed up. the one zope is trying to import is most
likely not the same one that gets imported if you run python itself
from the command line.

you need to locate the exact python binary zope uses and rebuild the
python-ldap module with that binary.

Which version of OpenLDAP? AFAIK you need at least OpenLDAP 2.0.13 when
building with TLS support.

OpenLDAP 2.0.25. The verified that the problem is still present with with
the "full-featured" build. I checked the mailing list and found the reaso=
n
for my problem - "full-featured" build uses ldap_r which appears to be
broken with OpenLDAP 2.0.* versions (at least till 2.0.25).=20

By the way, I had a funny experience dealing with this problem. The error
message said cannot find symbol ldap_first_reference. For some reason, I
assumed that python is complaining about not able to resolve the first
reference in the LDAP library and went about debugging with ldd
:-) :-). Finally, I realized that it's the name of an actual symbol!

By the way, I am extremely pleased with python-ldap. I have always been
reluctant to code to the C API and even when I started using python, I us=
ed
initially the external tools like ldapsearch and ldapmodify. Then I found
python-ldap. It has really made LDAP programming a breeze. Thanks a lot!

I'd strongly recommend 2.0.0pre06 with very recent OpenLDAP 2.0.x or 2.1.x 
libs. Try to convince your sys admin. Or try to compile it in your home 
directory and build an RPM with 'python setup bist_rpm'.

thanks for the reply,michael,

do you think python-ldap 2.0.0pre05...should work fine with openldap 2.0.12

and also will python-ldap 2.0.0pre06 work fine with openldap 2.0.12

coz as of now i have asked my client's sys admin to instal python-ldap
2.0.0pre05

with regards,
Rakesh Naidu

Is OpenLDAP 2.0 supported? I faced some problems compiling python-ldap wi=
th
it. The problems went away when I used OpenLDAP 2.1.  This may be due to =
a
bug in the local environment, I was playing around with both OpenLDAP 2.0
and 2.1.

Please go for python-ldap 2.0.0pre06 compiled against OpenLDAP 2.x libs. 1.8 
is pretty ancient.

error installing ldapmodule1.8

[Rakesh N. <rn...@ze...>]

hello all,
I hear that  ldapmodule-1.8.tar.gz is not installable on suse linux 7.x
since it uses an API which was not standardised(it references a member
mod_next in the LDAPMod structure which was present in UM LDAP  and  =
early
OpenLDAP)

can any one confirm this or comment on this....
i have been trying to get the sys admin of my customer's ...to install =
this.....and i get this reply that it is not compatible...
