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.

Ciao, Michael.

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

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'.

Ciao, Michael.
