1.1 ldap -- LDAP library interface module

Availability: UNIX.

This module provides access to the LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) C API implented in OpenLDAP 2. It is similar to the C API, with the notable differences that lists are manipulated via Python list operations and errors appear as exceptions.

For far more detailed information on the C interface, please see the (expired) draft-ietf-ldapext-ldap-c-api-04.

This documentation is current for the Python LDAP module, version . Source and binaries are available from http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/.
