Re: Error modlist.py in addModlist

[Garland, K. R <gar...@gm...>]

well i get the error still. but i made a mistake earlier and it looks
like my string is not a true dictionary and modlist is unhappy with
it. The shell version of my script is a bit different and doesn't have
this issue.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./ldapadd.py", line 23, in ?
    mymodlist = ldap.modlist.addModlist(newentry)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ldap/modlist.py", line 34, in
addModlist
    for attrtype in entry.keys():
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'keys'

Now I'll dive into converting it into a dictionary. Thanks, looks like
the error is on my part.
