Thanks for showing me my ignorance. I was not knowing about * and + !
Easy, only named attributes will be converted!
In this case maybe is it possible to use [ '*', u'givenName', u'sn' ]
to convert only 'givenName' and 'sn'

YES and I hope you will integrate my patch in your mainstream source code
:-)

not low-level

Here is my work on progress

class UnicodeLDAPObject(LDAPObject):

    expiration_delay=3D300

    def __init__(self, uri, **kwargs):
        LDAPObject.__init__(self, uri, **kwargs)
        self.unicode_decoder=3D{}
        self.unicode_decoder_expire=3D[]

    def search_ext(self,base,scope, **kwargs):
        #
filterstr=3D'(objectClass=3D*)',attrlist=3DNone,attrsonly=3D0,serverctrls=
=3DNone,clientctrls=3DNone,timeout=3D-1,sizelimit=3D0

        # convert filter
        try:
            kwargs['filter']=3Dunicode2utf8(kwargs['filter'])
        except KeyError:
            pass

        # convert arglist and keep a copy of original values for later
decoding
        try:
            attrlist=3Dkwargs['attrlist']
            kwargs['attrlist']=3Dmap(unicode2utf8(kwargs['attrlist']))
        except KeyError:
            attrlist=3DNone

        mesgid=3DLDAPObject.search_ext(self,base,scope, **kwargs)

        if attrlist:
            self.unicode_decoder[mesgid]=3Dattrlist
            self.unicode_decoder_expire.append((mesgid,
datetime.datetime.now()+datetime.timedelta(seconds=3Dself.expiration_delay)=
))

        return mesgid

    def result3(self, **kwargs):
        # msgid=3D_ldap.RES_ANY,all=3D1,timeout=3DNone):
        rtype, rdata, rmsgid, decoded_serverctrls=3DLDAPObject.result3(self=
,
**kwargs)
