i'm running around in circle trying to to use python/ldap/ on
win32(WinXP). I want to write a script that read SQL data(no pbm) and
insert member in a AD group(pbm).I used the module
Active_Directory(very easy to use).but it read only AD.
So i have been try to install python-ldap on a win32/python2.4
install.But each time i try

------------------------
setup.py build
------------------------
i get

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.....
running build_ext
error: The .NET Framework SDK needs to be installed before building
extensions for Python.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of course i insalled .NET ,and it keeped doing it, google around found
some registry key thing that have to be changed.tried that but still
nothing.I have been looking around more but the informations i find on
that topic seems so clunky and out dated(2004-2003) that i really don't
think i should wast my time any further without asking around if i'm
going the right direction.Because i have the feeling Python/Ldap/win32
shouldn't be such a problem to use...And if it isn't then...Python is
not the language i need to accomplish that task.

Maybe this message sent to the python-ldap-dev mailing list helps.
You're welcome to follow up on this list.

Ciao, Michael.

Hello there,

I've managed to put together an experimental 2.2.0 build for Windows,
which can be found here:

http://awkly.org/files/python-ldap-2...in32-py2.4.exe

I'm admittedly not an expert in compiling stuff, so if anyone with
more expertise can double-check what I've did:

http://awkly.org/archive/compiling-p...ions-on-mingw/


.... specially the change from '-shared' to '-mdll -static' on the
arguments to 'ld', I would really *really* appreciate.

For the brave folks willing to try out the installer itself, you're at
your own risk, but please report back any issues.

If the build turns out to work fine and people are willing to bless
this as the official Windows build and upload it to sourceforge I
would be more than glad.

It was built with mingw against:

openldap-2.2.29
openssl-0.9.8b
