Hmm, python-ldap 2.0.11 was supposed to work with OpenLDAP 2.0.x but
adding a user-contributed patch for LDAPv3 controls used function
ber_flatten2(). Obviously this change was not available in the 2.0.11
release yet:

http://python-ldap.cvs.sourceforge.net/python-ldap/python-ldap/Modules/ldapcontrol.c?r1=1.3&r2=1.4

Well, since OpenLDAP 2.0.27's libldap is really ancient and very buggy
compared to today's versions I'm not keen on supporting this OpenLDAP
version anymore. It's really time to upgrade now.

Ciao, Michael.
