bonsai 0.8.0

Module for Python 3 to access LDAP directory servers.

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.

Support only Python 3.3 or newer, and LDAPv3.

Requirements for building

• python3.3-dev or newer

• libldap2-dev

• libsasl2-dev

Features

• Uses LDAP libraries (OpenLDAP and WinLDAP) written in C for faster processing.

• Simple pythonic design.

• Implements an own dictionary-like object for mapping LDAP entries that makes easier to add and modify them.

• Works with various asynchronous library (like asyncio, gevent).

Example

import bonsai

client = bonsai.LDAPClient("ldap://localhost")
client.set_credentials("SIMPLE", ("cn=admin,dc=local", "secret"))
conn = client.connect()
res = conn.search("ou=nerdherd,dc=local", 2, "(cn=chuck)")
res[0]['givenname'] = "Charles"
res[0]['sn'] = "Carmichael"
res[0].modify()
