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:

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
