For ldap:
install apt for redhat and use e.g. the following in your
/etc/apt/sources.list :
rpm http://apt.freshrpms.net redhat/9.0/en/i386 os updates freshrpms
rpm ftp://apt-rpm.tuxfamily.org/apt redhat/9.0/en/i386 os updates extra

(just sed'ed s/"7.3"/"9.0"/g, so I don't know if the url is correct.)

then, for both redhat and debian, run the following commands:
$ apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
$ apt-get install python-ldap

that's it.
