BTW: Some people implemented O/R mappers above python-ldap. All implementations I saw up to now are falling short regarding the complexity of the LDAP attribute sub-types, the syntactical rules for attribute type descriptive names and attribute name aliasing. So first a developer has also to evaluate whether a O/R mapper is really complete before using it. Ciao, Michael. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
