Description: # `ldap` on PyPI
        
        This dummy project is not installable.
        You probably want `python-ldap` instead.
        
        
        ### python-ldap
        
        The widely used [python-ldap](https://python-ldap.org) project provides
        an importable module named `ldap`.
        
        This goes against the convention that PyPI distribution names should
        match the module names.
        But, python-ldap pre-dates wide use of that convention, and the issue
        is hard to fix now.
        
        Please install `python-ldap` to get the LDAP bindings.
        
        
        ### ldap 1.0
        
        The `ldap` name on PyPI was used for an unrelated collection of
        LDAP-related utilities, which is not as popular, and confused users who
        install `ldap` to get the `ldap` module.
        
        The project is no longer developed.
        It is archived as `1.0.x` releases on PyPI, and on
        [GitHub](https://github.com/andreif/ldap).
        
        
        ## Why we don't fix this transparently
        
        This could have been a placeholder  package that depends on `python-ldap`,
        saving you the trouble of reading this message.
        
        However, `pip` [has trouble](https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/4961)
        with differently-named packages that provide the same module.
        
        
        ## Please: Don't install packages blindly
        
        When you see the exception:
        
        ```
        ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'foo'
        ```
        
        … please research the actual requirements instead of going directly for
        `pip install foo`.
        The project (distribution) name may differ from the module(s) it
        provides.
