There seem to be a misunderstanding. This is an intended and
documented behaviour. I'm not sure why I left it out but there was
some reason (probably for having the possibility to add comment
lines with LDIF 1 format).

See web2ldap's module w2lsearch.py on how to write LDIF. Here's the
relevant excerpt.

------------------------ snip ------------------------
    # async search initiated before...

    result_type,result_dnlist =3D ls.l.result(ldap_msgid,0)
    while result_dnlist:
      for dn,entry in result_dnlist:
	outf.write('%s\n' %
ldif.CreateLDIF(dn,entry,w2lcore.ldap_binaryattrkeys))
      result_type,result_dnlist =3D ls.l.result(ldap_msgid,0)

Ciao, Michael.
