Basically what I am trying to do with this code is that, I manipulate
the result returned by ldapsearch to remove some attributes and
generate a LDIF output for the modified entry.

<code>
        res_type, result_data=l.result(res_id,0)
        if (result_data==[]):
            break
        dn=result_data[0][0]
	resd=result_data[0][1]
        resd["objectClass"].remove("inetLocalMailRecipient")
	    resd["objectClass"].remove("organizationalPerson")
	    resd["objectClass"].remove("inetOrgPerson")
        resd["objectClass"].remove("posixAccount")
        lw=ldif.LDIFWriter(sys.stdout)
	guru=lw.unparse(dn,resd)
	print guru
</code>

Is it some issue or am I making some mistakes with general usage of Python?

Thank you.
