[python3-ldap] python3-ldap and Django

[Richard Esplin]

I am very impressed with python3-ldap. It is much more pythonic than the old 
python-ldap, which makes it easier to use.

I am building an LDAP backed web site in Django. There are two modules I will 
need:

* django-auth-ldap for authenticating a user against an LDAP back-end,
* django-ldapdb for writing user changes back to LDAP.

Both of these modules expect python-ldap. I am trying to decide the best way 
to get them to use python3-ldap:

1) Rewrite them to call python3-ldap
2) Work on the python3-ldap compat module so that it can drop in for python-
ldap

Option 1 seems like it will produce the cleanest code. Option 2 seems like it 
will be the most useful for other applications that expect python-ldap, and 
on-going maintenance of the modules that call them. I'm not sure which 
approach will be easiest.

Is anyone else working on this?

Does anyone have any wisdom, suggestions, opinions to share?

Thanks,

Richard
