Hmm, it seems that ldap_url_search is no longer available in 
OpenLDAP 2.1. So far I've never tested python-ldap with OpenLDAP 2.1.

You have two options:

* Use OpenLDAP 2.0.x to build python-ldap against that (see
   parameters library_dirs and include_dirs in setup.cfg to
   specify a separate OpenLDAP 2.0.x directory you used for
   OpenLDAP 2.0.x's ./configure --prefix)

* Remove any reference to ldap_url_search in
   Modules/LDAPObject.c. web2ldap does not use this function.

Ciao, Michael.
