The only objection I have is that it really helped me to learn how to
work with an LDAP URL.  I needed to use URLs to configure exim to pull
data from LDAP, and I was having trouble using 'ldapsearch' -- it
didn't like the URL no matter what I gave it.  For me it was a
valuable tool.

Though if OpenLDAP 2.1 doesn't have the function, then that's a real
strong argument for removing those methods (at the very least when
compiled against OpenLDAP 2.1).

Personally I don't consider compatibility with python 1.5.2 a
significant feature.  2.0 was released a long time ago, by internet
standards.
