ldappy

ldappy gives api to query LDAP server, without the need to know about LDAP. Supporting both Active Directory and Open LDAP servers.

Why are there two p's in ldappy and not only one? you may ask.. well.. it's because it's the Happy way to use ldap with python :)

ldappy uses pyldap for the communication with the LDAP server.

Installation

pip install ldappy

git clone git@github.com:dusking/ldappy.git
cd ldappy
make install

Usage

Sample usage

all_users = ldappy.user_objects.all()
user = all_users[0]
print user.pretty_data()

You can see a full sample usage at samples/sample_usage.py or at the tests.

Info

There is User object and Group object. Each of them inherit from dict, so all the relevant data can be seen easly. BUT, since there are some different field name convenstions between the Open LDAP and Active Directory, there is the pretty_data methos, which return the same data, but with common name convenstion.. for example, full_name insttead of fn..
