[python-ldap] problems using import ldap

[Francis Abrante]

Hi

I already install the openldap and the python-ldap but I can't use the library, I don't know where is or how to add it in my pycharm. I am working locally and I have ubuntu, also I did the python-ldap installation with apt-get (but I don't know where are the files)

Thanks in advance

Francis

What does

python -c "import ldap;print ldap.__version__"

say?

Ciao, Michael.

Francis,

please always follow-up on the mailing list (cc:-ed).

Unfortunately you also do not provide any information needed to help you.

this is the output
Thanks
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named ldap

So how did you install python-ldap? If you're using a pre-packaged version of
python-ldap found in Ubuntu the command above should simply work - provided
you're using the right Python interpreter.

If you decide to build and install python-ldap yourself then you should follow
the instructions here:

http://www.python-ldap.org/doc/html/installing.html

Ciao, Michael.

I think it would be better to get the version installed via apt-get to
work than to install it manually.

Francis, what do the following commands give you?

$ dpkg -l python-ldap
$ dpkg -l 'python[23]*' | grep ^i
$ which python
$ ls -l $(which python)
$ ls -l /usr/bin/python
$ lsb_release -a

Hi

OK, so it looks like you might have been trying to install python-ldap
2.4 manually as well. It might confuse the issue if you have two
different versions installed.

Aha! So you have another installation of Python on your system and
it's not the one that runs when you type:

$ python

I suspect this has something to do with "pycharm" which you mentioned
in your first message. I am not familiar with pycharm, though. If
this rogue installation of python is because of pycharm, you might
want to ask the pycharm developers about your problem with getting
python-ldap to work.

What does this say:

$ /usr/bin/python -c "import ldap;print ldap.__version__"

Also:

$ python --version

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2011-05-25 11:04 /usr/bin/python -> python2.6

OK, so the "proper" installation of python is version 2.6 and it
hasn't been symlinked to somewhere else.

No problem. But I think the pycharm developers/mailing
list/forum/whatever might be a better place to ask your question.

I mean that it *is* the one that runs when you type "python".

This is why the command Michael Stroeder asked you to type did not work.

I tried to uninstall and install the package and doesn't work either.

Please read the Python docs at the link I've already posted:

http://www.python-ldap.org/doc/html/installing.html

Especially find out which Python interpreter you're environment is really
using. Then type

§ /path/to/python -c "import sys;print sys.prefix;print sys.exec_prefix"
/usr
/usr

where /path/to is the full path to the Python interpreter executable you're
trying to use. See the docs above how that helps to find out where modules get
installed.

Similar when building/installing from source

/path/to/python setup.py install

has to be invoked to install python-ldap (like all other DistUtils-based
Python modules).

Ciao, Michael.

That's because it is already correctly installed. The problem is not
with the python-ldap package, but rather with your non-standard
installation of Python (/usr/local/bin/python), which as I said I
suspect has something to do with "pycharm", with which I am
unfamiliar.

You did not correctly follow my instructions.

I said you should try:

$ /usr/bin/python -c "import ldap;print ldap.__version__"

and not just:

$ python -c "import ldap;print ldap.__version__"

And I still think pycharm is what's causing this to not just work out
of the box. So you might want to contact them rather.

Hi

I still have problems, but I think that my problem come from the library version. I don't know from where I can get the egg version for python 2.7. From    http://svn.kmrc.de/download/distribution/contrib/  only allow me until 2.6

I think that this is the version that I need, but I cannot found it.

This rather sounds to me that you've compiled python-ldap for 64-bit platform
but the Python interpreter you're using is a 32-bit build.

It seems that to that you should really clean up your system. You're mixing
build platforms, Python versions, python-ldap etc. That's a big mess.

Especially you should read and understand about how DistUtils are working (the
link I've posted before).

Ciao, Michael.

Simply build and install python-ldap with the *very same* Python interpreter
you're planning to use it with. (As you have been told in this thread several
times...)

Ciao, Michael.
