[python-ldap] Mac OS X Lion & python-ldap

[Michael Ströder]

Mike,

I'm not familiar with Mac OS X at all.

But I don't see any reason why python-ldap should work in the Python shell but 
not in a Python script if invoked with the very same interpreter.

Maybe you should try to analyse the output of python -v and compare the paths 
used when importing python-ldap.

Ciao, Michael.
