According to the description, the project was formerly named python3-ldap and has been renamed to avoid confusion with the python-ldap library. The underlying library is a pure Python LDAP V3 client implementing RFC 4511, providing connectivity to LDAP directories such as Active Directory, OpenLDAP, and eDirectory. It works across Python 2, Python 3, PyPy, and PyPy3.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and offers low install friction. This redirect exists only for backward compatibility; the description explicitly states that users should install the renamed package instead. The codebase is actively maintained with recent commits and community engagement.","worth_installing":"No. This package is a redirect and will not function on its own. The description explicitly states the project has been renamed and users should install the renamed package instead. This redirect exists only for backward compatibility with very old code; any new project should use the renamed package from the start. The underlying library is actively maintained with no known vulnerabilities, but python3-ldap itself is not the correct package to use."},"id":"python3-ldap","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python3-ldap","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python3-ldap.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python3-ldap/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2015-05-28","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"python3-ldap","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"project renamed ldap3 - please install the ldap3 package instead of python3-ldap"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":160011,"position":10680,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9.8.4"}
