Access 'active directory' from Python on Linux ...

[Bill]

Has anyone had experience in accessing MS 'active directory' from Python 
running on Linux?  I've found a few pointers from searching, but a hint 
might save me some time since setting up the solution might take a bit of 
effort (and then not work)!  From what I can tell you can do it from Python 
running under Windows, but under Linux seems to require 'openldap'.
