Thread: ANN: Python-LDAP 2.0.0pre02

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

HI!

Another pre-release version of python-ldap is available at

  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2072

Please test!

Ciao, Michael.

hi michael,

i'm getting this:

 >>> import ldap
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.1/site-packages/ldap/__init__.py", line =
5,=20
in ?
     from _ldap import *
ImportError: liblber.so.2: cannot load shared object file: No such file =
or=20
directory
 >>>

i'm on YellowDog linux 2.1 (a redhat 7 clone for mac) with OpenLDAP =
2.0.18=20
and Python2.1.2. the messages from setup.py build and setup.py compile =
did=20
not contain any errors during compilation.

is it just my setup or is there a problem? this worked fine with the=20
previous release candidate you put on the sourceforge file list.

This seems to be a problem with your OpenLDAP 2 shared libs. Check
shared libs with

$ ldd [Python lib dir]/site-packages/_ldap.so

Make sure you have either configured /etc/ld.so.conf (invoke
ldconfig after modifications) to contain directory lib/ of your
local OpenLDAP 2 installation or set LD_LIBARY_PATH accordingly.

If that does help since your on Mac architecture there might be
other subtle problems I don't know of.

Ciao, Michael.

michael,

hm... very interesting. the lib directory was not in ld.so.conf. i'm=20
surprised it never failed before... now everything seems OK.

thanks!

Sorry, I ran into a hen-and-egg problem: I wanted to avoid having to
set the version number in two soures (setup.py and
Lib/ldap/__init__.py). But one cannot import module ldap without
installed _ldap before. :-(

Please, check out new Python-LDAP 2.0.0pre03 which does not have
this problem. Might take a while before it shows up. Grr, SF's file
release system really sucks.

Ciao, Michael.

i don't quite follow you on this, it seemed to work fine on pre02... :)

pre03 compiles and works fine, too. (running on RH7.2, OpenLDAP 2.0.21,=20=

python2.1.2)

It worked for you since you already had an installed python-ldap.
But keep testing anyway.

Ciao, Michael.

I noticed something subtle that changed with the pre- releases. RPM and mos=
t
unix packages are case sensitive just as their unix underpinnings are.

So, Python-LDAP does not upgrade against python-ldap.. Currently, for my
next build, I will need to explicitly target source files and still generat=
e
python-ldap-<blah>.rpm --- Do you want to

a) break upgrade paths and keep the new name
or
b) revert back to the original name

IMHO David chose "Python-LDAP" for whatever reason. You didn't use
DistUtils to build your RPM before, did you?

> b) revert back to the original name

No problem, I've commited setup.py with package name being set to
"python-ldap". I'm also feeling more comfortable with this.

Ciao, Michael.

I did use distutils. Until the 2.0.0pre series, including CVS, it called
itself "python-ldap".
