Depends on wether your server allows non-encrypted authentication or
not. In general, I wouldn't to non-anonumous non-encrypted
authenticaion.

TLS:
l =3D ldap.open("localhost")
l.start_tls_s()
# Now we've got tls over port 389
l.simple_bind("someuser","secret")


SSL:
l =3D ldap.initialize("localhost") # use fqdn and/or cn in the certificat=
e here
# That's it.. we've got ldap using SSL -> Secure socket layer
l.simple_bind("someuser","secret")
