This is a tuffie, but I think I'll learn new techniques in SQL.
I wish to put data from MS Active Directory and put it into a table.
Specificly I want user information (first name, last name and so forth)
and the groups that they belong into a SQL table.
LDIFDE is a utility that can create a csv file from an AD server. This
is a sample output:

sAMAccountName: robert.camarda
In this output, each user is separated by a blank line. sAMAccountName
is the user's login ID to ADS. Lines starting with memberOf: shows the
path for each group the user belongs.
My thought is to load the text data into a SQL table with the PK being
the line number. This way the data will stay together. The second
column would be just text, varchar(100).
I'd like to end up with a table something like
USER_ID, GROUP_MEMBERSHI P, GIVENNAME
In the example of robert.camarda, that user belongs to 7 groups, so
there would be 7 records, one for each group. I think once I have this
part, I can build my final table with PK's an all the good-house
keeping of a SQL Table.
Now the part that I have no idea how to solve:
How do I convert the data from unfriendly for databases, to something I
can use?
1. I know I have a new user when I find dn:
2. I know I am done with the user when I get a blank (null) line.
3. I know what I want to populate rows with name and the contents once
I find rows starting with memberOf:
4. It appears there is a max line length that LDIFDE will export, and
starts a new line. So, it will be necessary to join lines.
I would think this is a combo of CURSORS, a do/while loop and other
assorted magic.
If someone can help me get started, I would have something to reseach
or model from. As of now, im staring and a blank page and not sure how
to start. Maybe someone knows of a simular problem that can share the
SQL.

Hi,
is there some description available to overwrite the import
hook? By googling i found out so far that i need to overwrite
__builtins__.__import__ with something else.
Can i also do this with a C function that is provided when
using an embedded python interpreter? So my own C program
provides this and when linking with python.lib the function
is overwritten?

It appears that (windows) python searches in the current working

'.' comes first in sys.path? The problem arises when I made the mistake
of running a test program from the same directory where I built and
installed my package. Python uses the package from the current
directory, which misses the pyd files, instead of the site-packages
package which has them installed.

Hi - Is it possible to override the import process so that if in my program
I do
import foo.bar
Python will look for bar in a directory which isn't called foo?
I want my module/program to be able to be run without being installed in
site-packages, so by doing "import foo.bar", it should start looking for
bar in the current directory which could be called "foo-0.43".

Now I’d like to “lock” the raw (pre-import) CSV files so these cannot be

So time-consuming encryption is not necessary, just a simple
