python-ldap is a Python package with heavy C extensions. In order to build python-ldap, not only OpenLDAP development headers are necessary, but also OpenSSL, Cyrus SASL, and MIT KRB5 development headers. A fully functional ipaclient doesn't need an LDAP driver. It talks JSON RPC over HTTPS to a server. python-ldap is only used by ipapython.dn.DN to convert a string to a DN with ldap_str2dn(). The function is simple and can be wrapped with ctypes in a bunch of lines.

This is a set of libraries common to IPA clients and servers though mostly
geared currently towards command-line tools.
A brief overview:
config.py - identify the IPA server domain and realm. It uses python-dns to
try to detect this information first and will fall back to
/etc/ipa/default.conf if that fails.
ipautil.py - helper functions
entity.py - entity is the main data type. User and Group extend this class
(but don't add anything currently).
ipavalidate.py - basic data validation routines
