Sometimes it is useful to know what attributes are available to you for an object in active directory. You cannot ask the object directly for that, instead you need to use the schema of the object. All of this is done with python's COM support using win32com. By default only attributes that have...

When Python runs a script and an uncatched exception is raised, a traceback is printed and the script is terminated. Python2.1 has introduced sys.excepthook, which can be used to override the handling of uncaught exceptions. This script allows to automatically start the debugger on an unexpected...

When running unit tests, using the verbose flag often provides an extra level of protection against mistakes. When running from the command line, this simply means adding the -v option. If you use an IDE, matters become more complicated. While you can often set your IDE to pass in the -v option...
