Hi,

I posted about this question on Stackoverflow, "Confusion about "python3-ldap" and "ldap3"", but haven't received much response.

At this point, it SEEMS like the answer to my question is that what gets installed by installing the "python3-ldap" via yum or RPM is NOT the same as downloading the source for "ldap3" from here, i.e., when the page says:

"python3-ldap HAS BEEN RENAMED ldap3 to avoid confusion with the former python-ldap project."

the mentioned "python3-ldap" is NOT referring to the RPM that is available for "python3-ldap", i.e., it is just a coincidence that the RPM and this project have the same "python3-ldap" name.

Can someone here confirm that that is the case?

Thanks,
Jim

P.S. Here is info from the RPM (rpm -qi python3-ldap):
