You're on the right track:
l.search() / l.result or l.search_s() returns a list of tuples of DN
and Python dict which you can convert into LDIF with
ldif.CreateLDIF().

Pulling/pushing directly LDIF wouldn't make much sense since the
LDAP servers are already shipped with tools which do exactly this.

But feel free to dig into http://www.web2ldap.de to see how I'm
doing it.
(Module w2lsearch, w2ladd - not very pretty code though.)

Ciao, Michael.
