Updated to 2.3.4

March 01, 2008:

I have got a report from Aaron Spike that the extensions did not work over SSL. It has motivated me to recompile whatever was published here before. But before I could do that I had to set up a clean MinGW environment. It never is for the faint of heart but luckily Jonathan Bowman has prepared very good instructions ( http://bowmansolutions.com/mingw-openldap/)

Aaron was nice enough to set up a site I could test against. So here it is with working SSL this time

Compiled using MinGW with:

openldap-2.4.8
openssl-0.9.8g

Three version of the same:

python-ldap-2.3.4.win32-py2.5.exe . Done with typical "bdist_wininst" but statically linked so there is no need for *.dll files. That is the one I use at work.
python-ldap-2.3.4.win32-py2.5-setup.exe. Packaged with Inno Setup. It is shared version and it includes the required *.dll that should end up in "site-packages" together with _ldap.pyd.
python-ldap-2.3.4.zip. Same as above but without an installer. Simply unzip into your "site-packages" directory preserving folder structure. Done for Vista users that had trouble running the setup.
