David and me already thought about this two years ago. And for the same reasons Rich mentioned I won't go that route because it's simply too much work to get it right. Additionally there's the performance aspect. BTW: There is already a pure-Python LDAP module called 'ldaptor'. http://eagain.net/talks/ldaptor/index.html But I'm currently using pyasn1 for certain LDAPv3 extended operations/controls and therefore I am thinking about adding some of the basic LDAP-related ASN.1 stuff to python-ldap 2.4.x. But this would introduce a dependency on pyasn1. Pros/Cons?
