you mean, like this?

=09print ldap.option.api_info

=09ldap.option.debug_level =3D 2

i think it is just as easy doing it the current get_option() way,
and means that OpenLDAP's documentation/manuals remains sensible for
people who want to read up on what the options mean.

The only real plus I can think of with attributes is that you have the
advantage of hasattr() and as you say, it is more pythonic.
