This is a module for handling LDAP operations in Python. Uses libldap2 on Unix platforms and winldap
on Microsoft Windows. LDAP entries are mapped to a special Python case-insensitive dictionary,
tracking the changes of the dictionary to modify the entry on the server easily.
Heavily under development.
Support only Python 3.x, and LDAPv3.
No chance to call asynchronous LDAP operations at the moment.
This is my first public Python module, and very first time for me to use the Python/C API.
Contributions and advices are welcome. :) (Just tell me the whats and whys.)
- python3.x-dev (tested with 3.2 and 3.3)
- libldap2-dev
- libsasl2-dev
Add a new attribute (mail) for an existing entry:
import pyLDAP
client = pyLDAP.LDAPClient("ldap://example.com/")
client.connect("cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com", "secret")
entry = client.get_entry("cn=test,dc=example,dc=com")
entry['mail'] = "test@example.com"
entry.modify()
client.close()Add a new entry:
import pyLDAP
client = pyLDAP.LDAPClient("ldap://example.com/")
client.connect("cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com", "secret")
entry = pyLDAP.LDAPEntry("cn=test,dc=example,dc=com", client)
entry['objectClass'] = ["top", "organizationalPerson", "inetOrgPerson"]
# Case-insenstitve dict.
entry['ObjEctClaSS'].append("person")
entry['sn'] = "Smith"
entry['gn'] = "John"
entry.add()
client.close()Search:
import pyLDAP
client = pyLDAP.LDAPClient("ldap://example.com/")
client.connect()
client.search(base="dc=example.dc=com", scope=2)Delete:
import pyLDAP
client = pyLDAP.LDAPClient("ldap://example.com/")
client.connect("cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com", "secret")
client.del_entry("cn=test,dc=example.dc=com")
client.close()or (keeping the data on the local machine):
import pyLDAP
client = pyLDAP.LDAPClient("ldap://example.com/")
client.connect("cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com", "secret")
entry = client.get_entry("cn=test,dc=example.dc=com")
entry.delete()
client.close()
