Using ldap.open() is deprecated for quite a while now. python-ldap
applications still using this function should be fixed.
Frankly I fail to see the benefit of avoiding the use of ldap.initialize(). In
both cases you have to change the application (Django in your case) to make
proper use of either ldap.open(...,ssl=True) or
ldap.initialize('ldaps://...'). In the first case it won't work with unpatched
python-ldap.
=> I reject this patch.
Maybe I've overlooked something though.
(Hopefully this does not discourage to submit patches in the future though.)
