问题
I am looking for a good ldap library on Django, that would allow me to manage my ldap server :
- adding, modifying, deleting entries
- for groups, users, and all kind of objects
The library django-ldapdb looked promising, it offers a Model base class that can be used to declare ldap objects in a Django fashion (which is what we ideally want), however we've had some bugs with it, and furthermore it seems like it is not maintained any more.
Does somebody know a good library that could do the trick ? Otherwise I guess I'll just try to improve and debug django-ldapdb ...
Thanks !

sebpiq, you say you applied "one or two fixes" to django-ldapdb, would you care to share them? So far django-ldapdb meets my needs, but I'd be happy to integrate any fixes you might have.
回答2:
When using ldapdb to query ldap with more results than the server allows instead of getting the partial list (of say the first 500 users) I get SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED exception. Trying to change the code to catch that exception resulted in an empty result objects. Anyone else had that problem?
I fixed that problem by changing the search_s function to use search_ext and read the results one by one until the exception happens.

The beauty of Django is that you can use any python module within your application.

There is also django-auth-ldap which claims
LDAP configuration can be as simple as a single distinguished name template, but there are many rich options for working with User objects, groups, and permissions.

Actually, I have found out that with one or two fixes, django-ldapdb is a pretty good library. The only bad point is that it is not very actively maintained... I will use it anyways, because it is the best solution I have found.
