I'm actually doing LDAP auth with something I wrote myself, which I feel is a little more general than the mentioned code (not that I'm opinionated or anything). I'll be posting it in a day or so once it's cleaned up a bit more. During OSCON I mentioned to Adrian that I'd be willing to work on one that would make it into django. LDAP is working great for me but we're not the highest demand environment, though I'd expect that LDAP auth will scale as well as LDAP can.
