1.3 `ldap.filter` -- LDAP filter handling

The ldap.filter module defines the following functions:

escape_filter_chars(assertion_value)

This function escapes characters in assertion_value which are special in LDAP filters. You should use this function when building LDAP filter strings from arbitrary input.

See Also:

RFC 2254, The String Representation of LDAP Search Filters

filter_format(filter_template, assertion_values)

This function applies escape_filter_chars() to each of the strings in list assertion_values. After that filter_template containing as many %s placeholders as count of assertion values is used to build the whole filter string.
