The python-ldap is based on OpenLDAP, so you need to have the development files (headers) in order to compile the Python module. If you're on Ubuntu, the package is called libldap2-dev.

Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libsasl2-dev python-dev-is-python3 libldap2-dev libssl-dev

Red Hat/CentOS:

sudo yum install python-devel openldap-devel

On CentOS/RHEL 6, you need to install:

sudo yum install python-devel
sudo yum install openldap-devel

And YUM will also install cyrus-sasl-devel as a dependency. Then you can run:

pip-2.7 install python-ldap
