LDAP python module for python 3.x

3263324 Nov 13, 2019 3:17 PM

Hello,

For Python 2.7 there is a IPS package library/python/python-ldap-27, but I can't find similar package for Python 3.x (Solaris 11.4).

Did I missed something? Really there is no LDAP module? Should I use pip?

I'm asking about it as Python 2.7 will be EOL from 2020.

Regards,

Marcin

Marcin,
I am only guessing, but I am sure it is on route into a SRU soon. Python 3.7 was added in SRU 12.5.0 and I guess more modules will come available as they move away from Python 2.7.

You can check the current python-ldap status at solaris-userland https://github.com/oracle/solaris-userland/commit/8d67f5be617942b1d61c6fa956b4ade0215ee3d9 which shows it was include in Oct 26. Naturally when it will appear in a SRU is another question, but I am sure soon.

Andrew,

You are right about Python 3.7, but Python 3.4 in available as IPS package since 2015: pkg://solaris/runtime/python-34@3.4.3,5.11-0.175.3.0.0.30.0:20150821T171714Z....
From the other side Oracle still heavily use Python 2.7 so for sure it will part of the OS for a very long time.
