Who cares? Use it, and see if it's good enough for your needs. Then, if not,
see if alternatives are better.

There seldomly is "the best" if there are several options, because the
details and quirks of various solutions might appeal to one and repulse
someone else. But nobody is going to know what *you* like best.

I've used python-ldap for writing scripts to interact with LDAP
directories quite a few times, check it out here at the cheeseshop:

http://python-ldap.sf.net is the most complete implementation I know of.
(Being the maintainer I might be biased.) It has the caveat of depending
on the OpenLDAP client libs and possibly other libs (OpenSSL,
cyrus-sasl). So generating a binary build can be heavy work. For which
OSs are you developing and which kind of LDAP servers do you want to access?

Ciao, Michael.
