other ldap servers

[Anil <an...@en...>]

Will python-ldap package ever support other ldap servers? (primarily I 
am thinking of Sun's directory or  the OpenDS)

I've compiled python-ldap using openldap and have used it against them 
but one specific method I am concerned with is the modrdn/renames. Not 
sure they work well with Sun's directory. I know PHP didn't handle this 
too well.

Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer:
My web2ldap uses python-ldap. I used this tool with a wide range of
different server products. This page should give you a rough idea:

I'm not aware of any issues with this specific LDAP server regarding
access with python-ldap.

I use python-ldap with Red Hat and Fedora DS quite a bit, and it works 
just fine.  Should work for all of the Netscape/iPlanet/Sun servers, 
since they are all very similar.

Up until Sun DS 5.2, none of the Netscape derived servers supported 
modrdn with new superior.  Could that be the issue you are seeing?
