ldap3 2.2.2

A strictly RFC 4510 conforming LDAP V3 pure Python client library. The same codebase works with Python 2, Python 3, PyPy and PyPy3

ldap3 is a strictly RFC 4510 conforming LDAP V3 pure Python client library. The same codebase runs in Python 2, Python 3, PyPy and PyPy3.

Version 2 warning

In version 2 of ldap3 some default values have been changed and the ldap3 namespace has been decluttered, removing redundant constants (look at the changelog for details). Also, the result code constants were moved to ldap3.core.results and the ldap3 custom exceptions were stored in ldap3.core.exceptions. If you experience errors in your existing code you should rearrange the import statements or explicitly set the defaults to their former values.

A more pythonic LDAP

LDAP operations look clumsy and hard-to-use because they reflect the old-age idea that time-consuming operations should be done on the client to not clutter and hog the server with unneeded elaboration. ldap3 includes a fully functional Abstraction Layer that lets you interact with the DIT in a modern and pythonic way. With the Abstraction Layer you don’t need to directly issue any LDAP operation at all.
