Hi Everybody!
First of all Happy New Year, hope it will be filled of fun!
I am really sorry for not supporting you for so long, but as I told you I
can't still spend too much extra-work time coding :(.
I saw the evolution of the library and I'm glad of the new functionalities and
the split-up of the brooker in various files.
On the other hand I think that the new interface changes don't go on the
simplicity/usability path, so I'd like to understand your targets and give
some suggestions.

Ticket
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/47625 changes the
interface
of DirSrv.
This ticket is the porting side of the test cases to the new interface
1- The new interface initialization is substantially different from a standard
client-server interface. A user expects to instantiate objects like this:
# client = Telnet(host, port, credential)
2- This is quite the behavior of the LDAPObject superclass, which I would like
to retain so that we can use fakeldaps for unittest
3- The standard DirSrv.__init__ (and the same is valid for other methods),
containing a set of parameters is intrinsically documented. Shifting core
parameters in dictionaries:
a- de-documents parameters and default values outside the method signature;
b- requires parsing and setting of default values;
Python allows to retain the dict-style stuff using the **magic, which I would
embrace in this case.
The new Interface Layer would be easily implemented in a subclass.
Let me know + Peace (and sorry again for my absence),
R.
