        ldap3 is a strictly RFC 4510 conforming **LDAP V3 pure Python client** library. The same codebase runs in Python 2, Python 3, PyPy and PyPy3.
        
        
        A more pythonic LDAP
        --------------------
        
        LDAP operations look clumsy and hard-to-use because they reflect the old-age idea that time-consuming operations should be performed client-side
        to not hog the server with heavy elaborations. To alleviate this ldap3 includes a fully functional **Abstraction Layer** that lets you
        interact with the LDAP server in a modern and *pythonic* way. With the Abstraction Layer you don't need to directly issue any LDAP operation at all.
        
        
        Thread safe strategies
        ----------------------
        
        In multithreaded programs you must use on of **SAFE_SYNC** (synchronous connection strategy), **SAFE_RESTARTABLE** (restartable syncronous connection strategy) or **ASYNC** (asynchronous connection strategy).
           Each LDAP operation with SAFE_SYNC or SAFE_RESTARTABLE strategies returns a tuple of four elements: status, result, response and request.
        
           * status: states if the operation was successful
        
           * result: the LDAP result of the operation
        
           * response: the response of a LDAP Search Operation
        
           * request: the original request of the operation
        
           The SafeSync strategy can be used with the Abstract Layer, but the Abstract Layer currently is NOT thread safe.
           For example, to use *SAFE_SYNC*::
        
              from ldap3 import Server, Connection, SAFE_SYNC
              server = Server('my_server')
              conn = Connection(server, 'my_user', 'my_password', client_strategy=SAFE_SYNC, auto_bind=True)
              status, result, response, _ = conn.search('o=test', '(objectclass=*)')  # usually you don't need the original request (4th element of the returned tuple)
        
        
          With *ASYNC* you must request the response with the *get_response()* method.
