The connection manager returns ldap objects actually,

The addition is that you get a context manager to get that ldap object
and it takes care of recycling it when you get out if the with block.

So right now we have:


1/ a connection pool (ConnectionManager in our case)

2/ ldap objects returned by the connection pool


#1 is a new thing, #2 does not introduce any change to the existing
api of the LDAP object, but adds the get_lifetime() API.

Another ldap object could be used there (you can provide your own,
it's an option) and the lifetime feature could be deactivated in that
case
