This may sound silly, but I've been searching for a reliable method for installing the python-ldap module for Python 2.4 in a Windows XP environment. Actually, I'm looking for a method that would work cross-platform with Linux and OS X as well, or at least methods that were close enough in nature to be called similar.
As far as Windows goes: I've tried installing the binary linked from the python-ldap project page, but that is a third-party binary, and they only have installers for 2.5 (I tried these just to be sure, and sure enough, 2.4 won't import the module, as it wants a 2.5 DLL instead). I did find a binary elsewhere that someone created [1], but this one seems fairly outdated. Ultimately, I'd like to automate an installation method as part of a buildout environment script that could work on multiple platforms, but I'm not sure that's going to be possible: Windows doesn't use apt-get, OS X doesn't use DLL files, etc. I also found this post [2], which probably works for systems that use apt-get, but not for others, and seems fairly complicated as well. Thanks in advance for your ideas and pointers on whether this is possible, or the best way to do it on different platforms. ~John [1] http://www.agescibs.org/mauro/ [2] http://bluedynamics.com/articles/jens/python-ldap-as-egg-with-buildout _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
