pyldap's Introduction

pyLDAP

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.)

Requirements for building

  • python3.x-dev (tested with 3.2 and 3.3)
  • libldap2-dev
  • libsasl2-dev

Examples

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'] = "[email protected]"
    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()
