Implementing a ldap db backend

Hi !

I am currently on a big project, which should result in a ldap
management service (modifying users, groups, and any other ldap
object).

Until now, I have been using django-ldapdb, in order to use ldap as a
db backend. It was good for a very basic read-only prototype of the
service. However, this library is not really maintained anymore, and
due to a very high-level implementation (it only subclasses Model,
Query, Queryset, ...), there are a lot of quirks which makes it
unusable for more complex cases.

I have thought of many solutions to replace ldapdb. I came to
conclusion than the cleanest, and most useful for the community, would
be to implement a real db backend for ldap. However, I have been told
that it is an awfully big task !

So, here come my questions ... Do some of you have an implementation
of such a thing in mothballs ? Are some of you interested in sharing
the effort for this ?

If no good answer, I guess I'll just do as I was advised and implement
for myself a few python classes based on python-ldap :-(
