modify method

[Tjabo K. <t.k...@bi...>]

hi,

I'm doing some tests with python ldap.
bind and search work well, but now I'ld like to take a search result, modify a single field,
and modify the "data row" in the ldap database.

ldap.modify() takes a dn and a modifyList, but that seems to be complicated. 
Is there a way to use the search result to generate the modify list?

tk.
+ Tired of coding perl+ldap. +

If you only want to modify a single attribute it's probably 
overkill to look into (undocumented) sub module ldap.modlist.

Ciao, Michael.

undocumented. yes.
I finally managed to alter a single attribute of an object, and it is fairly easy.
Compared to perl it is great fun!
