ldif
LDIF parser and generator
python-ldap project (see http://www.python-ldap.org/)
This module parses and generates LDAP data in the format LDIF. It is implemented in pure Python and does not rely on any non-standard modules. Therefore it can be used stand-alone without the rest of the python-ldap package.

Example
The following example demonstrates how to write LDIF output of an
LDAP entry with ldif
module.
>>> import sys,ldif >>> entry={'objectClass':['top','person'],'cn':['Michael Stroeder'],'sn':['Stroeder']} >>> dn='cn=Michael Stroeder,ou=Test' >>> ldif_writer=ldif.LDIFWriter(sys.stdout) >>> ldif_writer.unparse(dn,entry) dn: cn=Michael Stroeder,ou=Test cn: Michael Stroeder objectClass: top objectClass: person sn: Stroeder
The following example demonstrates how to parse an LDIF file with
ldif
module, skip some
entries and write the result to stdout. :
import sys
from ldif import LDIFParser,LDIFWriter
SKIP_DN = ["uid=foo,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com",
"uid=bar,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com"]
class MyLDIF(LDIFParser):
def __init__(self,input,output):
LDIFParser.__init__(self,input)
self.writer = LDIFWriter(output)
def handle(self,dn,entry):
if dn in SKIP_DN:
return
self.writer.unparse(dn,entry)
parser = MyLDIF(open("input.ldif", 'rb'), sys.stdout)
parser.parse()
