ldap3 is a strictly RFC 4510 conforming **LDAP V3 pure Python client** library. The same codebase runs in Python 2, Python 3, PyPy and PyPy3.


Version 2 warning
-----------------

In version 2 of ldap3 some default values have been changed and the ldap3 namespace has been decluttered, removing redundant
constants (look at the changelog for details). Also, the result code constants were moved to ldap3.core.results and the ldap3 custom exceptions
were stored in ldap3.core.exceptions. If you experience errors in your existing code you should rearrange the import statements or explicitly
set the defaults to their former values.


A more pythonic LDAP
--------------------

LDAP operations look clumsy and hard-to-use because they reflect the old-age idea that time-consuming operations should be performed client-side
to not hog the server with heavy elaborations. To alleviate this ldap3 includes a fully functional **Abstraction Layer** that lets you
interact with the LDAP server in a modern and *pythonic* way. With the Abstraction Layer you don't need to directly issue any LDAP operation at all.
