Well, I developed it for web2ldap and some of my commercial projects and
contributed it to python-ldap.
ldap.async solves some real-word problems for me:
- Stream processing of large result sets (ldap.async.AsyncSearchHandler)
- Grab partial search results (ldap.async.List)
- Write large result sets to file object (ldap.async.FileWriter), e.g.
produce LDIF with ldap.async.LDIFWriter.
There's also some potential with deriving classes from
ldap.ldapobject.LDAPObject (mainly SimpleLDAPObject): Automatic fail-over,
load-balancing.
E.g. I'm using ldap.ldapobject.ReconnectLDAPObject in web2ldap to work
around Domino/LDAP dropping LDAP connections quite frequently.
But I did not make up my mind so far about a really nice and cleanly
designed class structure.

At the moment I'm the only one...
