Description
LDAP logins work fine for MoinMoin CGI, but breaks when configured for mod_python. Using standard moin_login, moin_cookie works fine for both CGI and mod_python.
With mod_python enabled for LDAP auth, I just get "Sorry, wrong password". A packet dump reveals that MoinMoin doesn't even try to contact the ldap server.
Steps to reproduce
Configure MoinMoin with ldap auth
Use the instructions in HelpOnInstalling/ApacheWithModPython to switch to mod_python
- Try to log in

Workaround
- Use CGI (but it's so much slower 
) - Use apache mod_auth_ldap and auth.http
Discussion
Using pdb I traced this to an exception triggered in the python-ldap binary C module; this doesn't appear to be a MoinMoin bug, but something related to ldap libraries and possibly linking.
