python-ldap provides an object-oriented API to access LDAP directory
servers from Python programs. It mainly wraps the OpenLDAP 2.x libs for
that purpose. Additionally it contains modules for other LDAP-related
stuff (e.g. processing LDIF, LDAPURLs and LDAPv3 schema).

----------------------------------------------------------------
Released 2.0.8 2005-06-22 at Linuxtag 2005, Karlsruhe, Germany

Changes since 2.0.7:

* Preliminary support for receiving LDAP controls added.
  Contributor:
  - Andreas Ames

Lib:/
- Added classes in module ldif to ldif.__all__ to fix
  from ldif import *
- Removed BitString syntax from
  ldap.schema.models.NOT_HUMAN_READABLE_LDAP_SYNTAXES
  since the LDAP encoding is in fact human-readable
- ldapurl.LDAPUrlExtension.unparse() outputs empty string
  if LDAPUrlExtension.exvalue is None
- Added ldap.controls.SimplePagedResultsControl

----------------------------------------------------------------
Released 2.0.7 2005-04-29

Changes since 2.0.6:

* Added preliminary support for sending LDAP controls
  with a request.
  Contributors:
  - Deepak Giridharagopal
  - Ingo Steuwer
  (Receiving controls in LDAP results still not supported.)

Modules:
* LDAPObject.c: removed l_ldap_manage_dsa_it()
* LDAPObject.c: Added missing #ifdef around l_ldap_passwd()
  for compability with older OpenLDAP libs.

Lib:/
* New algorithm in ldap.schema.tokenizer.split_tokens()
  contributed by Wido Depping which is more robust
  when parsing very broken schema elements
  (e.g. Oracle's OID).
* Fixed argument list (position of timeout) when calling
  LDAPObject.search_ext_s() from search_st() and search_s().
* LDAPObject.search_ext_s() correctly calls search_ext_s() now.
* Re-implemented LDAPObject.manage_dsa_it() without calling _ldap.
