PerLDAP compat

[David L. <dav...@cs...>]

I was looking at OO models of X.500 directories and came acrosss Perl's
LDAP module and wondered if a compatibility library could be useful to
anyone converting their perl code to python :) :)

its not finished yet but you can see the gist of the api below.

any comments? a waste of time?

The Perl API is documented at

I can contribute some code for reading and writing LDIF (see
gzipped-attachment). Maybe you want to include this module in your
software repository.

Ciao, Michael.

DSML (http://www.dsml.org/) will follow...

Ciao, Michael.

I think adding the required methods to ldaplib (the python part) is
pretty easy. i'll do if there is enough request. i just committed
(well, i am commiting...) some code for schema support. nothing really
working but if you want to give it a look, try the schema_test.py
script (michael?)...

ciao,
federico
