Installation on AIX with gcc

2012-05-31T21:35:25Z

Had endless issues trying to install python-ldap on AIX 6.1 when the IBM compiler is not installed.
Tried to add the following to the setup.cfg:
[build]
compiler = gcc
This gave a not supported error message. D'oh
Ended up doing a "python setup.cfg --dryrun build" so I could get the commands it wanted to do. Then I gcc'd them from xlc_r. This is what I ended up using:

It would be real nice if gcc and AIX 6.1 was a supported combo. PLEASE :-) Or tell me what I'm doing wrong.

LDAPS AD LDS

2011-04-21T12:45:11Z

Hi,
We are trying to connect to an AD DLS by using python-ldap library. Everything s fine with LDAP (389), we are able to get data (after authentification).
We need to connect to AD LDS using SSL protocol and we can't connect to AD LDS (636).

It seems the problem comes from the TLS.
The trace is : TLS: can't connect.

We succed to connect to AD LDS with LdapAdmin Tools (Authentification, 636).

Here are the logs. Microsoft support answers they are RFC compliant.
Could you help us about this problem ??

Solaris 11 - ImportError - No module named controls

2011-04-08T01:06:54Z

Hi,

I downloaded the latest 'main' snapshot of the cvs to build python-ldap on to Soalris 11 Express. I have compiled my own version of OpenLDAP 2.4.23 and cyrus-sasl 2.1.23 and I can build the module fine and see it in my /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages directory but I am having import errors.

I am not sure how to debug here, but in '/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ldap' there is no controls.py* which I believe I should have.

ERROR:

Please let me know if you need any more data, I am happy to assist.

Any advice on what I can do to fix this?

Fix compilation under *BSD

2006-11-16T13:16:23Z

python-ldap does not compile under OpenBSD. The attached patch fix the problem :

- added /usr/local/{lib,include} in setup.cfg
- removed -I/usr/include/sasl from setup.cfg and changed #include <sasl.h> to #include <sasl/sasl.h> in Modules/LDAPObject.c

ldap deadlock problem

2006-05-29T05:34:06Z

Our server are deadlocked sometimes. See the attached
deadlock traceback.

Our server is using Zope 2.8/Plone 2.1, LDAPUserFolder
2.6, python-ldap 2.2.0-1 and libldap2(2.1.30-8).

We have set operation timeout to 5 seconds. But It
still deadlocked.

I found someone posted similiar problem here:

http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2005-March/157400.html

Is this bug is python-ldap related or libldap2 related?

Cannot download python-ldap win32

2005-09-22T08:09:02Z

I'm trying to download the win32 python-ldap binary
from mauro, but his page is down
(http://www.agescibs.org). Is there another download
location for win32?

Thanks,
Manuel

import fails for python-ldap on Mac OS X 10.4

2005-05-05T23:41:03Z

Building python-ldap-2.0.7, downloaded today. Target
system: Apple G4 Powerbook running clean recent install
of Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). There is an install of
Python2.4 on this system and it has a similar problem.
The name that isn't getting found is different but
otherwise the behavior is the same.

Package setup.cfg modified to point library_dirs at
/usr/lib and include_dirs at /usr/include and a
directory into which I copied sasl.h and prop.h
(included by sasl.h) from a recent Symas CDS source
tree as I couldn't find any sasl.h on the Mac. The
"python setup.py build" and "sudo python setup.py
install" both ran without visible errors (except for
the failure to find python.py etc. mentioned inthe FAQs).

start python and attempt "import ldap" and get a
failure to bind to the dynamic libraries. Session
quoted below.

ldif.LDIFRecordList and ldif.LDIFParser

2004-10-29T10:53:56Z

I am having difficulties using the ldif module. I can write
an ldif file OK, but not read ....

I have an ldif file ....

dn: uid=srobinson,ou=Staff,dc=myco,dc=org
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
uid: srobinson
givenName: Suzanne
sn: Robinson
cn: Suzanne Robinson
telephoneNumber: 4931

I have a python script ...

import ldif
f = open("f.ldiff","r")
records = ldif.LDIFRecordList(f)
data = records.parse()
print data

I run the script and I get ...

None.

It does seem to read the file, as if I add f.readlines() to
the end I get ...

If I open the file and then use f.readlines() it prints the
whole file OK.

My directory will have around 5000 entries and from
other posts I don't think this method would be too
suitable, but I can't make sense of the available docs
for LDIFParser (and I am not a fantastic python
programmer - improving). There doesn't seem to be
terrific docs or resources / HOWTO's for python-ldap, so
if anyone can direct me to a good source I would
appreciate it. Sample code to read a large LDIF and
write to a LDAP would be great! I could manage if the
above produced any results, but I don't think
LDIFRecordList is the way to do it for a largeLDIF

Can't run python-ldap scripts

2004-10-05T17:34:12Z

I have installed python-ldap on 2 fedora base2
machines. One I have compiled, the other was an rpm,
but I get exactly the same problem on both machines ....

If I run python interactivly it seems to work ....
