ANN: python-ldap-2.3.2

[Michael S. <mi...@st...>]

Find a new release of python-ldap:

   http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/

python-ldap provides an object-oriented API to access LDAP directory
servers from Python programs. It mainly wraps the OpenLDAP 2.x libs for
that purpose. Additionally it contains modules for other LDAP-related
stuff (e.g. processing LDIF, LDAPURLs and LDAPv3 schema).

----------------------------------------------------------------
Released 2.3.2 2008-03-26

Changes since 2.3.1:

Lib/
* ldap.dn.escape_dn_chars() now really adheres to
   RFC 4514 section 2.4 by escaping null characters and a
   space occurring at the beginning of the string
* New method ldap.cidict.cidict.__contains__()
* ldap.dn.explode_dn() and ldap.dn.explode_rdn()
   have a new optional key-word argument flags which is
   passed to ldap.dn.str2dn().

Modules/
* Removed unused OPT_PRIVATE_EXTENSION_BASE from constants.c

Doc/
* Various additions, updates, polishing (thanks to James).

Hi Michael,

neat! :o)

But I ran into a problem while trying to build on my x86_64 Linux box:

Modules/constants.c: In function 'LDAPinit_constants':
Modules/constants.c:152: error: 'LDAP_OPT_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE'
undeclared (first use in this function) Modules/constants.c:152: error:
(Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
Modules/constants.c:152: error: for each function it appears in.)

OpenLDAP version is 2.3.41, gcc 4.2.3, glibc 2.7.

Any clues?

Regards,
Torsten

Sorry for that. This constant is available since OpenLDAP 2.4.x. Thanks for
reporting it so quickly.

ldap.h of OpenLDAP 2.4:

#define LDAP_OPT_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE             0x0032
#define LDAP_OPT_ERROR_STRING                   LDAP_OPT_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE

Renaming was probably done to reflect a name change in the revised LDAPv3 RFCs.

I'll release 2.3.3 tested with OpenLDAP 2.3.x libs.

Ciao, Michael.
