web2ldap.py 0.6.4: WWW gateway for accessing LDAP servers

HI!
I would like to announce a new version of web2ldap (formerly known as ldap-client-cgi.py), a full-featured LDAPv2 client written in Python designed to run as a CGI-BIN under the control of a WWW server. It's available for free (GPL) from
There's also a working demo there.
I would like to encourage people to give feedback about the usability of this program.
Ciao, Michael.
Changes since 0.6.2: - Some minor enhancements of user interface - Fixed a basedn-related bug in smart login search - Added automatically start of CGIHTTPServer.py if web2ldap.py is invoked from command-line (only Unix up to now).
Changes since 0.5.8: - enhanced user interface
Changes since 0.5.6:
- some code cleaning / bug fixing - enhanced direct handling of UTF-8 input/output more conform to HTML4 standard - new feature: for each host a dictionary with DNs as keys can be created to define the default objectclass and attribute for forming DNs for subordinate entries (see example in cgi-bin/web2ldapcnf.py under host ldap.ms.inka.de). This is handy in situations where unexperienced users have to add entries without knowing how to form a new DN.
Changes since 0.5.3:
- some code cleaning / bug fixing in login procedure - some small performance enhancements - direct output of UTF-8 if browser sends UTF-8 in HTTP_ACCEPTED_CHARSET (e.g. like Netscape Communicator 4.5x does) - fixed problems with being too case sensitive in modify - some small improvements in user interface
