rename and deprecate top-level modules #640
Description
These modules should not really be at the top level, they conflict with other people's packages (main one being ldif which is a big source of confusion), add a stub that reexports the same names and have imports trigger a Warning of some sort saying the stubs are going away in 5.0:
_ldap->ldap._ldap(rename+stub already happening in 3.5)ldif->ldap.ldifldapurl->ldap.url
And update the documentation to match.

What speaks against adding the stubs already in 3.5?
Then a migration path is more easily possible: People can start to use the new variant during the 3.5 lifecycle and are done with it.

You mean for now to make e.g.
ldap.ldifa stub forldif? I guess we could and then swap them around after 3.5spaceone commentedon Sep 24, 2026
