libldap_r allows finer-grained locking for each LDAPObject=20
instance. I've checked in a new ldap/__init__.py and=20
ldap/ldapobject.py which allows to use separate Lock instances for=20
global function calls into LDAP lib and for each LDAPObject=20
instance created.

At the moment you have to create a LDAPObject instance directly=20
for using that (not through ldap.open() or ldap.initialize()).

Example:

l =3D ldap.ldapobject.LDAPObject('ldap://www.openldap.org',ldap_r=3D1)

Also there's a more elegant fall-back if the Python installation=20
used has no thread support (translates to import threading failed).

Please read the changed source and comment!
Please try to build a python-ldap with libldap_r and test!
Also test with Python without thread support!

Ciao, Michael.
