Re: delete_s() result

[Michael E. <men...@ka...>]

right - I guess was thinking more along the lines of directly in the=20
documentation on the ldap operations page, having a paragraph that says=20=

"For the following methods, x(), y(), z(), ldap.LDAPError exceptions=20
are raised instead of returning error codes - click <a=20
href=3D"http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/doc/python-ldap/node9.html=20
">here</a>  for more information on the Exceptions that can occur."

In my case, I read through the exception page and didn't "get" that=20
delete_s doesn't return error codes because  there is documentation=20
like this mixed into the LDAP operations page for say the result()=20
method:
The result() method returns a tuple of the form (result-type,=20
result-data). The first element, result-type is a string, being one of:=20=

'RES_BIND', 'RES_SEARCH_ENTRY', 'RES_SEARCH_RESULT', 'RES_MODIFY',=20
'RES_ADD', 'RES_DELETE', 'RES_MODRDN', or 'RES_COMPARE'. (The module=20
constants RES_* are set to these strings, for your convenience.)

This method does return codes and it seems to me that based on that if=20=

it's not explicitly stated that other methods would as well.    =20
Personally I would like to see the documentation have examples for each=20=

function written in python but I doubt anyone has time for that.  I'll=20=

start collecting mine and maybe put them up somewhere.
