ANN: python-ldap-2.3.8

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

Find a new release of python-ldap:

  http://www.python-ldap.org/

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).

Ciao, Michael.

Released 2.3.8 2009-04-30

Changes since 2.3.7:

Lib/
* ldap.schema.models: More fault-tolerant parsing of SYNTAX in
  AttributeTypeDescription
* ldap.schema.tokenizer.split_tokens():
  More tolerant parsing of items separated only with a DOLLAR without
  surrounding white-spaces (because WSP is declared as zero or more
  spaces in RFC 4512)

Hi Michael,

could you have a look at the patch that i submitted a while ago to
expose LDAP_OPT_X_SASL_NOCANON? This option is a new LDAP option that
disables SASL host name canonicalization. It is very useful in Windows
AD environments.

Patch attached. References:

Sorry, this was still in the pipe.

Questions:

Why didn't you patch LDAP_get_option()?

If I also extend LDAP_get_option() l.get_option(ldap.OPT_X_SASL_NOCANON)
will always return -1 if set to any value instead of 0. Is that correct?

Ciao, Michael.

That is an oversight. It should be updated as well. New patch attached.

Yes, that should be fine.

Thanks,

Ok, committed in HEAD. Please test.
Is it urgent to have that in a generally available release?

Ciao, Michael.

I've tested current HEAD and it works for me.

Not really urgent but it would be good if a new release was made in
the next 2-3 months or so. This would ensure that the next wave of
distribution releases (Fedora 12, Ubuntu 9.10) pick this up.
