LDAP_CONTROL_RELAX undeclared while installing python-ldap

ERROR:

Modules/constants.c: In function ‘LDAPinit_constants’:
Modules/constants.c:158: error: ‘LDAP_OPT_DIAGNOSTIC_MESSAGE’ undeclared (first use in this function)
Modules/constants.c:158: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
Modules/constants.c:158: error: for each function it appears in.)
Modules/constants.c:380: error: ‘LDAP_CONTROL_RELAX’ undeclared (first use in this function)
error: command ‘gcc’ failed with exit status 1

 

Solution:
Install openldap24-libs & openldap24-libs-devel :
sudo yum install openldap24-libs-devel
sudo yum install openldap24-libs

Run the below commands and get the unique list of directories from the output:
Add those folders to setup.cfg file in the below section:
[_ldap]
library_dirs = /opt/openldap-RE24/lib /usr/lib
include_dirs = /opt/openldap-RE24/include /usr/include/sasl /usr/include

Now run the installation command:
python setup.py install

Transform A,B,…AA,AB,.. to 1,2,..27,28,..

NOTE: Below code is Python 3.

base = 26
def transform(row):
    res = []
    for field in [tmp.strip() for tmp in row.split(',')]:
        ival = 0
        power = 0
        for c in field[::-1]:
            ival += pow(base,power)*(ord(c)-ord('A')+1)
            power += 1
        res.append(ival)
    return res


print(transform("A, B, Z, AA, AB, AAA"))

Output:

[1, 2, 26, 27, 28, 703]
