I'm not sure I fully understand your question.

Up to now python-ldap does not have any Unicode handling. That's because 
the root of the API is still in pre-Unicode-Python-times. So the code 
using python-ldap is responsible for doing anything related to Unicode 
encoding/decoding and pass valid strings to python-ldap's functions and 
object methods.

It would help if you show a concrete case maybe with data and Python 
code where python-ldap works and ADSI does not. (Anyway I'd recommend to 
use python-ldap since you can then even tweak your AD from a Linux box. ;-)

Ciao, Michael.
