can anyone tell me how i can obtain the value from an attributetype(uid)

from a user profile in ldap?

this is my code:

import ldap
l = ldap.initialize("ldap://ldap.dmg.ewt.de:389")

l.simple_bind_s("cn=admin, o=xxx", "xxxxxx")
x = l.search_s("ou=People, o=xxx", ldap.SCOPE_ONELEVEL, "gecos=xxxxxx",
attrlist=['uid'], attrsonly=0)
print x
or
print x[0]

('cn=klausboehm, ou=People, o=xxx', {'uid': ['value']})

the output is a list with one index.
how can i extract the value from the attribute uid?


thanks for help

klaus

"Learning Python" is a very good book that can help you deal with simple 
python data types... ;)

print x[1]['uid']

The search result is a tuple of the form

(dn,entry)

The entry is a dictionary of value list with the name of the
attribute type as dictionary key:

{attrtype:[value]}

Hence you have a search result in variable result. Doing a

print repr(result)

does help a lot to find out how the data is structured.
