Oops, forget to mention that i will modify more attributes every time,  
not only 'cn'. Such as:

----
mod_attrs = [
    (ldap.MOD_XXX, attr1, value1),
    (ldap.MOD_XXX, attr2, [value2]),
    ...
    ]

self.conn.modify_s(dn, mod_attrs)
----

Is there a better way to modify it except using several  
'try:...except:...' block?
