Answer 1

This is the KEY-Point,it work for me!

Your OpenLDAP and the python-ldap library versions are not compatible. Remove the python-ldap library you have installed, and install a lower version; try 2.3.13 – Burhan Khalid Oct 11 '13 at 12:40

And you can get the old releases from CVS

Answer 2

I had the same issue. You will have to install python-ldap by modifying setup.cfg.

For me I had to use: /usr/lib64/openldap24 and /usr/include/openldap24
