The python_ldap package for windows 10 fails to install on my windows laptop. It exits with error C1083: mysql.h not found. So I adjusted the path order to place the location of this file closer to the front of the path.
I am using a wheel file from
https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#python-ldap
to install: python_ldap-3.4.0-cp311-cp311-win_amd64
(The wheel file was unzipped with 7-zip.)
Running pip install on this local directory fails with the following:
"c:\Program Files\Python311\scripts\pip" install python_ldap-3.4.0-cp311-cp311-win_amd64 --no-cache --use-wheel python_ldap
C:\Users\jw708\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-lvwb_4z3\python-ldap_33030b515612408fba3ae0d6f676d1ce\Modules\common.h(15): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'lber.h': No such file or directory error: command 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.37.32822\bin\HostX86\x64\cl.exe' failed with exit code 2
Looks to me like Visual Studio is confounding this problem. I don't want to uninstall VS just to install a python package for LDAP. However, installation of the python_ldap package seems unnecessarily complicated.
Is there a python LDAP package that can be installed with a simple 'pip install python_ldap'? The wheel files are not working out.
The other option I have is to remove LDAP from the python project entirely--not the best choice.

pip install wheel wheel unpack python_ldap-3.4.0-cp311-cp311-win_amd64.whl pip install python_ldap-3.4.0
