Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Brian May <b...@debian.org> * Package name : python-ldap3 Version : 0.9.3.3 Upstream Author : Giovanni Cannata <python3l...@gmail.com> * URL : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python3-ldap * License : GPLv3 Programming Lang: Python Description : A strictly RFC 4511 conforming LDAP V3 pure Python client
Please correct me if I got something wrong. I believe that python-ldap, already in Debian does not support python3. I see emails from April 2012 stating people are working on Python 3 support, but nothing since. So I can only assume that this has stalled. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.ldap/1078 This library, known as python3-ldap upstream, provides the ldap3 module. It is claimed it works with Python 2 and Python 3. This library has the advantage that it is pure Python code, I believe this means it doesn't require the C ldap library. I am considering naming the source python-ldap3, which is different from the upstream name, as it works with both python 2 and python 3, and it supplies the ldap3 module, not the ldap module. So it shouldn't conflict with the existing python-ldap package. If I know what I am doing, it will provide the python-ldap3 and python3-ldap binary packages. I haven't yet tried to use python-ldap3, so I assume the claims made upstream are accurate. The API looks somewhat different, although I haven't examined it in detail yet. Unfortunately, don't have a good test for this yet, my application uses the python-ldap API. I guess this will have to be updated too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
