- python-ldap: LDAP client API for Python
- ---------------------------------------
- What is python-ldap?
- python-ldap provides an object-oriented API to access LDAP
- directory servers from Python programs. Mainly it wraps the
- OpenLDAP client libs for that purpose.
- Additionally the package contains modules for other LDAP-related
- stuff (e.g. processing LDIF, LDAPURLs, LDAPv3 sub-schema, etc.).
- Not included: Direct BER support
- See INSTALL for version compability
- See TODO for planned features. Contributors welcome.
- For module documentation, see:
- http://www.python-ldap.org/
- Quick usage example:
- import ldap
- l = ldap.initialize("ldap://my_ldap_server.my_domain")
- l.simple_bind_s("","")
- l.search_s("o=My Organisation, c=AU", ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, "objectclass=*")
- See directory Demo/ of source distribution package for more
- example code.
