ldap compatibility is by no means a measure of utility to web-applications. i've seen very few webapps need ldap, though many GUI and email systems often need it.
Maybe true for public web apps, but according to my experience authentication against an existing AD or other LDAP server is a frequent requirement of enterprise web apps.
Note that there are several LDAP modules for node.js already (https://nodejsmodules.org/tags/ldap).
I think it's important for Pyramid to come with many "batteries included" like LDAP authentication in order to be a compelling alternative to Django or node.js (with "included" I don't mean shipped with the Pyramid framework itself, but available as part of the Pyramid/Pylons ecosystem.)
I really like all the goodness of Python 3 and it's good to see that we're slowly making progress. Recently even ReportLab has been ported to Python 3 which was my biggest hindrance for moving so far.
I'm now discussing with the python3-ldap author on getting the pooling functionality into python3-ldap and then modify pyramid_ldap to be based on that so that it will run everywhere and without C extension. Will report back to the mailing list.
