Two new repos
by Ondřej Kuzník
This is an announcement that two new repositories have just been added
on Gitlab:
https://git.openldap.org/openldap/syncmonitor
This is a project to support real-time monitoring of OpenLDAP's
replication. It comes as a Python module using the asyncio library to
provide a fully reactive interface. An asyncio wrapper around Michael's
python-ldap0 is included for that reason.
A sample terminal application is also provided to showcase what is
possible.
https://git.openldap.org/ondra/pldap (in personal namespace for now)
The above mentioned asyncio wrapper is a bit of a break with how
traditional python-ldap wrappers are used. This comes out of attempts to
use and extend the existing Python LDAP modules to do what I needed them
to do and discussions with Michael Ströder, maintainer of python-ldap0,
how that might be achieved.
In the end I've drafted a new module that has two goals:
- explore a new API that can stay mostly uniform across plain Python and
async code, where result and intermediate responses are extracted in a
more natural way
- move towards run-time wrapping of libldap so that the module is
immediately usable in environments without the need to compile a
native wrapper
At some point, this code should either be extended to cover the scope
that the other two wrappers (python-ldap and python-ldap0) provide or
the approach should be adopted in either. It is my understanding that
the OpenLDAP project might be interested in adopting either of the
modules at some point (subject to that module adopting the OpenLDAP
Public License).
In view of the above, I've kept it in my personal namespace for now so
as not to give any impression that this the official Python module to
use for all things LDAP.
At some point, these (just like the mod-harness module published last
year) should be the building blocks for the test suite that I hope to
build at some point. As such, there are many smaller tools of general
utility bundled in there, especially in the syncmonitor repository.
Should you find them useful, let's turn them into something more
complete. Please review and come back with suggestions or, if you feel
so inclined, patches.
Regards,
