Python-ldap set_option not working on Yosemite

问题:

We've installed the python-ldap(2.4.19) module without errors and perform most of the operations successfully. However ldap.set_option always returns a exception when we try to load certificates to use ssl (ldaps).

It occurs on notebooks running Yosemite but not on Mavericks or Linux. (All Macbooks have xcode installed)

We think it should be some missing/outdated/updated lib but we don't know how to find it.

Any clues?

$python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Sep  9 2014, 15:04:36)
...
>>>import ldap
>>>ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_X_TLS_CACERTFILE, '/my_path/my_cert.crt')
Traceback (most recent call last):

回答1:

got around this by installing openldap threw brew, and then manually downloading the tarball, and mod setup.cfg to pick up /usr/local, and then install.

http://sourceforge.net/p/python-ldap/bugs/65/ is the ticket to add /usr/local to the defaults on python-ldap.
