openldap-software@openldap.org is only for discussing
OpenLDAP-Software from http://www.openldap.org/.

openldap-general@openldap.org might be a good choice for discussing
web2ldap if Kurt agrees with that.

This is a problem with importing the ldapmodule.so. I saw this error
several times when ldapmodule.so was not build correctly or shared
libs are messed up from older installations. Since you're running
Red Hat Linux you might wanna grab a pre-compiled RPM found on
http://www.webideal.de/ldap/ and try again with that one.

For testing you can invoke the Python interpreter and just type:

  import ldap

There's also a new developers mailing list for python-ldap on
SourceForge (Cc:-ed, see
http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/python-ldap-dev).

Ciao, Michael.
