Installation

You will need Python version 2.4 or better to run dataflake.fakeldap. Development of dataflake.fakeldap is done primarily under Python 2.7, so that version is recommended.

Warning

To successfully install dataflake.fakeldap, you will need setuptools installed on your Python system in order to run the easy_install command.

It is advisable to install dataflake.fakeldap into a virtualenv in order to obtain isolation from any “system” packages you’ve got installed in your Python version (and likewise, to prevent dataflake.fakeldap from globally installing versions of packages that are not compatible with your system Python).

After you’ve got the requisite dependencies installed, you may install dataflake.fakeldap into your Python environment using the following command:

$ easy_install dataflake.fakeldap

If you use zc.buildout you can add dataflake.fakeldap to the necessary eggs section to have it pulled in automatically.

When you easy_install dataflake.fakeldap, the python-ldap libraries are installed if they are not present.
