In my use of python-ldap I've often used a self-developed high level
class for ldap-object handling.
Adding a new ldap entry for example (ld is a python-ldap object):
lo = LdapOO.LdapObject()
lo.set_dn_attribs(['cn'])
lo.add_attribute_value('cn','test2')
lo.set_base_dn('ou=People,o=myorg')
lo.add_attribute_value('objectClass','inetOrgPerson')
lo.commit_s(ld)
or modifying an existing ldap entry:
res=ld.search_s('ou=People,o=fakenet',ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE,'(sn=surname)')
lo = LdapOO.LdapObject(res[0][0],res[0][1])
lo.add_attribute_value('sn','surname')
if (not lo.has_attribute('street')):
lo.add_attribute_value('street','new street')
lo.commit_s(ld)
Hmm, I'm not sure I would consider this to be very high-level. If a
higher-level API is ever add to python-ldap it will definitely be
subschema-aware to map OID to NAME aliases and some more stuff and make
use of defaultdict stuff new in Python 2.5.
since I use this class often, I was wondering if there are more people
that like such a high-level API, and perhaps this can be developed
further and added to python-ldap ?
I'd prefer you to release this as a separate package on your own web
space since I wouldn't use it myself and therefore I'd not maintain it.
If you do so I would be glad to link to your project page from
python-ldap's web page so that others can find it easily.
Ciao, Michael.
