Totally stumped on how to use async.

[Ryan P. <Ry...@fo...>]

Let me preface by saying that I am kind of a newbie with LDAP. =20
Here is my problem, I would like to use python-ldap to query the =
proxyAddresses on my AD domain controller, and eventually write it out =
to a file.  But since this is AD I have to limit my queries to under =
1000 results. =20
I am trying to mimic the functionality of this Perl script =
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~malth/gaptuning/postfix/getadsmtp.pl

1.) When I use the example on the site for asynchronies queries, I don't =
get all the results - I get 2000 (which I don't understand why, but =
there is actually =
3106)http://homepage.mac.com/mengelhart/python-ldap-samples.html#search
2.) The way I understand 'retrieveAttribuites' to work would be that I =
only retrieve one particular attribute for each 'cn', and that is how it =
appears to work in the 'directoyassist' 3rd party script off the site.  =
So I figured that I could put ['proxyAddresses'] in there and only =
receive the proxyAddresses, but when I use anything except None I get no =
results back.

Here is what I have, it is almost a verbatim copy of the example, if you =
could just give me some pointers on how to use the async queries I will =
be on my way. Thanks.=20
PS I have tried on both my Linux and win box and get the exact same =
results.


#!/usr/bin/env python

from string import split

try:
    l =3D ldap.open("10.11.2.33")
    l.simple_bind_s('A user name','*****')=20
except ldap.LDAPError, e:
    print e

baseDN =3D "dc=3Dfoxracing,dc=3Dcom"
searchScope =3D ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE

try:
    ldap_result_id =3D l.search(baseDN, searchScope, searchFilter, =
retrieveAttributes)
    while 1:
	result_type, result_data =3D l.result(ldap_result_id, 0)
	if (result_data =3D=3D []):
            break
        else:
	    if result_type =3D=3D ldap.RES_SEARCH_ENTRY:
		for entry in result_data[0][1]['proxyAddresses']:
		    if 'SMTP' in entry:
			email =3D "%s OK" % (split(entry, ':')[1])
			print email
except ldap.LDAPError, e:
    print e
