Python-ldap on OS X

python-ldap is supporting the Python2 and Python3. But I never tried to install on OS X.

I got error message, when I try to install the python-ldap via pip

pip install python-ldap
...
Modules/LDAPObject.c:18:10: fatal error: 'sasl.h' file not found
#include <sasl.h>
         ^
1 error generated.
error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1

The official python-ldap site(https://www.python-ldap.org/download.html) is having the guide to install on OS X

Set up a suitable development environment by running xcode-select --install. After that you can install directly from PyPI.

xcode-select --install xcode-select: note: install requested for command line developer tools sudo pip install python-ldap Password: Collecting python-ldap Downloading python-ldap-2.4.27.tar.gz (125kB) 100% |████████████████████████████████| 133kB 175kB/s Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): setuptools in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages (from python-ldap) Installing collected packages: python-ldap Running setup.py install for python-ldap ... done Successfully installed python-ldap-2.4.27 python -c "import ldap; print(ldap)" ```
