It wraps LDAP protocol operations through python-ldap, dnspython, and ply to provide a higher-level interface for directory operations.\n\nThe library targets developers building directory-aware applications on Linux servers that need to integrate with Active Directory infrastructure. It requires system LDAP libraries and network access to a reachable directory server. The package is classified as Production/Stable but has been in abandoned maintenance since 2022-11-11.","worth_installing":"Yes, with conditions. The package is stable and permissively licensed under MIT, but abandoned maintenance since 2022-11-11 is a significant concern for long-term reliability. Install only if you have an existing codebase already using it, need Active Directory integration on Linux without alternatives, and can accept the risk of no upstream fixes. For new projects, evaluate actively maintained alternatives first."},"id":"python-active-directory","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-active-directory","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-active-directory.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-active-directory/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-11-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"python-active-directory","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"An Active Directory client library for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":163046,"position":10579,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.0.1"}
