[python3-ldap] R: Library name change?

[Python3-ldap]

Hi Joseph, 
Why do you say that the name change would impact the code? The name space would remain the same (ldap3) so the code should not change, it's just the name of the package that would be different. This should impact the installation script or the requirements.txt. What is your invocation pattern for the library?

I'm asking this to understand the impact of this hypothetical change.

Thanks,
Giovanni

Hi Giovanni,
I have this library littered all over the place in work I have done. I can test my style
of invocation and usage and assert with a high degree of confidence what impact that
an upgrade may have. A name change will be a serious thorn causing individual testing
across a potentially large set of code. 

I question just how necessary a change like this and what genuine result will be achieved
by it.
