[python3-ldap] R: Library name change?

[Python3-ldap]

I agree with Michael, to avoid clashes I prefer to keep the current name for the library. Obviously this regards the package on pypi only, distribution mantainers are free to follow best practices for their distributions.

Bye,
Giovanni

I definitely want to avoid name clashes since there may be a python-ldap
release for Python3 in the future.

The following module name spaces are used by python-ldap:
ldap
ldif
dsml
ldapurl

So please rename to something else.

Though I definitely expect people to confuse package names:
python-ldap3-0.9 with python-ldap-3.0 and
python3-ldap3-0.9 with python3-ldap-3.0

Ciao, Michael.
