Python - pyad create user with a comma in their name

I'm trying to create a user using pyad, what I have working is:

    ou = pyad.adcontainer.ADContainer.from_dn('OU=Employees,DC=lan,DC=company,DC=com')
    name =  ("doe john")
    newUser = pyad.aduser.ADUser.create(name, ou, password="password")

However if I try and make the name to be doe, john (has a comma in it now):

    ou = pyad.adcontainer.ADContainer.from_dn('OU=Employees,DC=lan,DC=company,DC=com')
    name =  ("doe, john")
    newUser = pyad.aduser.ADUser.create(name, ou, password="password")

I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site- packages\pyad\adcontainer.py", line 38, in create_user

Directory', 'An invalid dn syntax has been specified.\r\n', None, 0, -2147016654), None)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I don't know how to get around including the comma, I've tried escaping it and including a chr(44) as well, but nothing works.

There are two character issues you have to handle:

1. The RDN (e.g. cn=User Name) of an LDAP object must have the following characters escaped with a backslash:
   , \ # + < > ; " =

2. The sAMAccountName cannot contain any of the following characters:
   " [ ] : ; | = + * ? < > / \ ,

pyad will by default attempt to set the sAMAccountName attribute to the name argument passed to ADUser.create(), so, if a forbidden character is in name, it is necessary to supply your own sAMAccountName as an optional attribute.

In your example, you would have to do something like:

pyad.aduser.ADUser.create("Doe\, John", ou, password="Password123", 
    optional_attributes={'sAMAccountName':'jdoe'})
