I'll do that tomorrow.

Hmm, nothing. I may not have expressed myself clearly enough. I wasn't
sure if you were following certain coding conventions, so i tried to
do the algortihm as simple as possible and keeping the usage of the
string module low. But since we can use this module, the part can be
replaced by string.split().

If have a more general question about some things you do in the source
code. At some points you assign a function from a module to a
variable, like "string_split =3D string.split".
I've asked myself, why you do this. Is it to improve speed? Your
assignment would spare a lookup of split in the string module and be
somehow faster.
But some quick testing showed, that this trick only gains 0.3 seconds
when splitting a string 1.000.000 times.

I hereby grant the python-ldap project

parts of code, which is meant to be included into python-ldap. This
