title: Django : looking for an implementation of an ldap db backend (or for any help on this)
body: <p>Following this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3906427/django-looking-for-a-good-ldap-manipulation-library">post</a> (I was looking for a library allowing me to declare Django models on a ldap backend), I have decided to use <a href="http://opensource.bolloretelecom.eu/projects/django-ldapdb/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ldapdb</a>. After having played a while with this library, I figured out that it doesn't reach the level of control I need, and I am therefore looking for other solutions. What I am thinking of now is implementing a Django db backend based on <code>python-ldap</code>.</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>EDIT</p>
  
  <p>I need this because I am currently implementing a user/group management system on a ldap directory (it requires to be able to manipulate not only users, but different classes of ldap objects as well).  So basically, I would like to be able to use (nearly) full Django orm, but with a ldap backend.</p>
  
  <p>Because I love Django (and would be rather motivated in learning the dirty low-level details of db.backends), and because there's already a lot of things implemented in this project, I would like to stick to Django (unless somebody has a very good reason why I shouldn't, and a very good alternative !).</p>
