python-ldap on PyPI

[Torsten K. <pyt...@tk...>]

Hi there,

I'm currently involved in a project, using Zope3, there we would need a
proper python-ldap.egg from the Python Cheeseshop. I realized that
someone checked in some specs there
(http://www.python.org/pypi/python-ldap/2.0.11), but there's no .egg
file attached to this record - therefore my project fails to build.

So my question is twofold:
a) Who maintains the PyPI entries of python-ldap? Is it actively
maintained in general?
b) If not, how can I help to get it done?

Best regards,
Torsten

Since I never looked into .egg files I'd appreciate if you could provide
one and I do the rest of putting it on PyPI.

Ciao, Michael.

Hi guys,

Any progress with python-ldap.egg? If nobody's working on this I'll have to 
make it myself because I need it too.

Sounds good. Good luck! :)

Hi folks,

I just created a first .egg of python-ldap.
Using a standard Linux distribution, like Gentoo, this can easily be
replayed:

0. Make sure that you have a recent version of openldap, openssl and
cyrus-sasl libraries and headers installed.

1. If not already done so, follow the instructions at
http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#installing-easy-install

2. Download and unpack the latest python-ldap tarball (2.3)

3. cd into python-ldap-2.3 and apply the attached (and hopefully
unmangled) patch as follows
patch -p1 <path/to/python-ldap-2.3-setuptools.diff

4. Run
python setup.py bdist_egg

5. If everything went well, you'll have a python-ldap-egg in the newly
created subfolder dist, e.g.
python_ldap-2.3-py2.4-linux-i686.egg

If things don't work or you are too lazy to try these steps, you may
test my precompiled egg at
http://svn.kmrc.de/download/distribution/python_ldap-2.3-py2.4-linux-i686.egg

It is linked against
- openssl 0.9.8e
- cyrus-sasl-2.1.22
- openldap-2.3.35
- glibc-2.5

Any feedback is highly appriciated!

Best regards,
Torsten

Thanks for contributing this.

Hmm, all modifications to setup.py should work on Windows either.

Is it a MUST?

Hmm, this replaces distutils completely. Isn't there any pattern for a
fall-back to distutils if setuptools is not available?

And how to build that with Python 2.2 and earlier?

Shouldn't that be derived from sys.platform during build?
Or at least to be defined in setup.cfg. That's what it's for.

For now I consider your patch to solve the .egg thingy for you. I won't
patch the general setup.py in standard source distribution. I might add
your version of setup.py as setup_egg.py under Build/ in the source
distribution.

Ciao, Michael.
