No, the common code is in ipaldap.py.
ldap2.py only has the ldap2 class, which is a CRUDBackend, manages the 
magic per-thread connections, and has some extra helpers that can assume 
IPA is installed.

Sure, makes no difference to me :)
To be honest though, I never got the difference between ipalib and 
ipapython. Could you explain it for me?
