The python-ldap module requires a compile of some modules so you need some headers. These can be installed via ipkg: Download the python-ldap (Version 2.4.10 as of the time of writing this document) source from https:\/\/pypi.python.org\/pypi\/python-ldap\/<\/a> and extract to your qnap (I’m using \/share\/MD0_DATA\/lab\/)<\/p>\n Edit setup.cfg in the extracted directory, and change the following two lines: to be: Run : python setup.py build<\/p>\n I had an error: Turns out with version of python-ldap (2.4.x), OpenLDAP 2.4 client libs or newer are required. So off to find out where these are. I downloaded the ipkg’s mentioned above (openldap-libs and cyrus-sasl-libs) to try an figure how how to build the newest versions of these. Turns out the cyrus-sasl-libs haven’t been updated for a long time, the latest version is 2.1.25 and the one supplied in ipkg repo currently is 2.1.23-2. python-ldap 2.4.10 needs Cyrus SASL 2.1.x or newer so the supplied ipkg version is fine.<\/p>\n Building openldap-2.4.35 (without slapd) to get the libraries: Now you need to copy them into a directory structure to build the ipkg – I found some instruction for this here http:\/\/www.oesf.org\/index.php?title=IPKG_Howto<\/a> (if you want to build the ipkg – if not you can just run make install from the libraries folder).<\/p>\n # now the header files # create the ipkg control file # save and quit the file<\/p>\n # now you need to compile the python modules: # now create the ipkg<\/p>\n # make sure the permissions are correct: ipkg-build.sh ipkgroot So now, back to building python-ldap. Change back into the python-ldap source directory and run ‘python setup.py build’ and this time it built, Yay!<\/p>\n Once the build is complete, you can either just run python setup.py install and you are done, or use create an ipkg.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n # start python from the command line and enter:<\/p>\n import compileall # This will go through the site-packages directory recursively and compile all the .py files.<\/p>\n # create the control file # add the following to that file # write and quit the file I’m using ipkg to install some of the requirements, so check the QNAP site to see how to enable the use of this.

\nDescription: Provides an object-oriented API to access LDAP directory servers from Python programs. Mainly it wraps the OpenLDAP 2.x libs for that purpose. Additionally the package contains modules for other LDAP-related stuff (e.g. processing LDIF, LDAPURLs, LDAPv3 schema, LDAPv3 extended operations and controls, etc.).
