[python3-ldap] Problem retrieving UUID

[Damiano Scrigni]

Hello everyone,

Does anyone has this problem when retrieving an UUID attribute?

lib\site-packages\ldap3\protocol\formatters\formatters.py", line 64, in format_uuid
return str(UUID(bytes=raw_value))
File "C:\Python34\Lib\uuid.py", line 148, in __init__
    raise ValueError('bytes is not a 16-char string')
ValueError: bytes is not a 16-char string


I have found that changing line 64 in ldap3\protocol\formatters\formatters.py from:

return str(UUID(bytes=raw_value))

to:

return str(UUID(raw_value.decode("ASCII")))

solves the problem, but I have no idea about the side effects of the change.


Bye,
damiano
