[Pythonmac-SIG] Import ldap not behaving as expected

[U n d e r a c h i e v e r]

Hi all

Doubtless there is a very simple solution to my problem ...

I've installed python2.4 with a handful of supporting modules (well, one,
ldap) from darwinports.

The following works fine provided I type it in interactively in a python
session, but not as a script:-

$ cat bin/testldapimport.py
#!/opt/local/bin/python
import ldap
import os
import sys

def goodbye(exitmessage, exitcode):
    print exitmessage
    sys.exit(exitcode)

goodbye("quiting",0)

$
$
$ /opt/local/bin/python
Python 2.4.1 (#1, Oct 10 2005, 11:15:09)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1671)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> #!/opt/local/bin/python
... import ldap
>>> import os
>>> import sys
>>> 
>>> def goodbye(exitmessage, exitcode):
...     print exitmessage
...     sys.exit(exitcode)
... 
>>> goodbye("quiting",0)
quiting

But running the same coede as a script generates an error:-

$
$ /opt/local/bin/python bin/testldapimport.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bin/testldapimport.py", line 2, in ?
    import ldap
  File "/Users/glaw/bin/ldap.py", line 23, in ?
    except ldap.LDAPError, error_message:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'LDAPError'

Cluestick? I'm lost as to what could be going wrong here...
