Focusing on Active Directory, I reviewed the info at the following site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc961766.aspx Based on this, I need to find a module that implements the LDAP APIs. By default, it does not appear that Python can speak this language, I am using version 2.6.1. The module I found is Python-LDAP (http://www.python-ldap.org/). Does anyone have experience using this? LDAP is a protocol, not a language. You are right, LDAP isn't part of the Python standard library. The python-ldap extensions works well with Active Directory. I've used it to write an authentication and authorisation layer for our application. A word of warning: LDAP isn't trivial and AD has its quirks, too. It's going to take you a while to understand its concepts. Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Re: Python Windows Extensions for Mac
Perhaps you'd be better off with something like RunDeck (Free, Open-Source, Cross-Platform, CopyLeft) for this kind of problem.

I would like to query various Windows' objects and resources from Mac and/or Linux such as Active Directory users, network shares, group members, etc... What module or methods can I use with python to accomplish this? A way to approach this problem is installing Python + windows extensions on the actual windows machine(s) you want to query. Then create some form of a server process that does the windows specific stuff locally, and exposes an interface with the functions you want to provide to your remote machine(s). Talk with the server process using some form of platform independent IPC, for instance Pyro: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pyro4/ Be careful what methods you expose this way though (security issues!)

Thus, there is nothing for pywin32 to wrap on a Mac. Again: Not completely true. One could run python under wine and get -- at least a part of -- the Windows API.
