[python-ldap] ANN: python-ldap 3.3.0

[Petr Viktorin]

After a long delay, you can find a new release of python-ldap here:

     https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-ldap/3.3.0

Notable changes since 3.2.0 are:

* LDAPError now contains additional fields, such as ctrls, result, msgid
* passwd_s can now extract the newly generated password
* LDAP connections can now be made from a file descriptor

This is the last 3.x release of python-ldap to support CPython 2.7, 3.4 
and 3.5, which are past or near end-of-life. For information on 
supported CPython versions, see:

      https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches
      https://devguide.python.org/devcycle/#end-of-life-branches

About the project:

      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, LDAP URLs and LDAPv3
      schema).
