<div>Good Morning,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am having difficulty getting python-ldap to work on Mac OS X 10.7.3. I installed python-ldap following the directions <a href="http://projects.skurfer.com/posts/2011/python_ldap_lion/">here</a>. I tested the module after installation and it appears
to have installed correctly.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>mmatz$ python -c 'import ldap; print ldap.__version__'</div>
<div>2.4.8</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was then able to use the module successfully from an interactive shell.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>mmatz$ python</div>
<div>Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jul 31 2011, 19:30:53) </div>
<div>[GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)] on darwin</div>
<div>Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.</div>
<div>>>> import ldap</div>
<div>>>> server = "<a href="ldap://10.20.12.10:389">ldap://10.20.12.10:389</a>"</div>
<div>>>> user = "some user"</div>
<div>>>> pwd = "some password"</div>
<div>>>> l = ldap.initialize(server)</div>
<div>>>> l.simple_bind_s(user, pwd)</div>
<div>(97, [], 1, [])</div>
<div>>>> l.unbind_s()</div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div>However, when I execute the same code from within a script, the script fails.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>mmatz$ python ldap.py</div>
<div>Traceback (most recent call last):</div>
<div> File "ldap.py", line 1, in <module></div>
<div> import ldap</div>
<div> File "/Users/mmatz/Desktop/ldap.py", line 8, in <module></div>
<div> l = ldap.initialize(server)</div>
<div>AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'initialize'</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any help on getting the python-ldap module to work from a script would be much appreciated.</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Mike</div>

<div>I suspect you have a naming conflict between your script (ldap.py) and the ldap package. Try changing your scripts name and re-run it.</div>
