I'm running python 2.5 (or 2.4) in an XP environment. I downloaded and installed the .dll's from OpenLDAP-2.4.8+OpenSSL-0.9.8g-Win32.zip and copied the .dll's in c:/windows/system32 as instructed
now I get this error. Is there anyway to avoid building the python_ldap binaries? Apart from being lazy, I've got a secure system policy issue if I start compiling apps. I could give up and just start running in linux, but my xp environment is much friendlier to develop in. I've googled a lot, but all the links I've found talk to Unix or to compiling from source. Even if I build from source, will the mingw compiler mentioned in most posts produce something that is compatible with "Python was built with Visual Studio 2003". c:\all>easy_install python_ldap Searching for python-ldap Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/python_ldap/ Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/python-ldap/ Reading http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/ Reading http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/download.shtml Reading http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2072&package_id=2011 Best match: python-ldap 2.3.5 Downloading http://downloads.sourceforge.net/python-ldap/python-ldap-2.3.5.tar.gz?modtime=1215364319&big_mirror=0 Processing python-ldap-2.3.5.tar.gz Running python-ldap-2.3.5\setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir c:\documents and settings\frsells\local settings\temp\easy_install-uczq5i\python-ld extra_compile_args: extra_objects: include_dirs: /usr/local/openldap-2.3/include /usr/include/sasl library_dirs: /usr/local/openldap-2.3/lib libs: ldap_r lber sasl2 ssl crypto file Lib\ldap.py (for module ldap) not found file Lib\ldap\schema.py (for module ldap.schema) not found warning: no files found matching 'Makefile' warning: no files found matching 'Modules\LICENSE' file Lib\ldap.py (for module ldap) not found file Lib\ldap\schema.py (for module ldap.schema) not found file Lib\ldap.py (for module ldap) not found file Lib\ldap\schema.py (for module ldap.schema) not found error: Setup script exited with error: Python was built with Visual Studio 2003; extensions must be built with a compiler than can generate compatible binaries.
