Python-3.4 Django v-1.9: Ldap issue - module object has no attribute SCOPE_SUBTREE

Question

I have the following configuration for LDAP, if I use ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, it shows:

ldap3.SCOPE_SUBTREE, "(uid=%(user)s)")
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SCOPE_SUBTREE'

If I use ldap3.SUBTREE - the error that appears:

File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\django_auth_ldap-1.2.13-py3.4.eg\django_auth_ldap\config.py", line 65, in get_ldap
ImportError: No module named 'ldap.filter' in

I had the same problem but was able to fix it perfectly.

You need to copy the __init__.py of the ldap package for python2 into the package for python3.

Find where your ldap package for python2 is, let's say /site-packages/python2/ldap. Let's also say the same package for python3 is /site-packages/python3/ldap

Do this:

cp /site-packages/python2/ldap/__init__.py /site-packages/python3/ldap
