Have you tried using an explicit timeout argument?
I usually call ldap.simple_bind this way:
l = ldap.open(LDAPServer)
id = l.simple_bind(LDAPbindUsername, LDAPbindPassword)
status,res = l.result(id, 1, 60)
if status != 'RES_BIND':
return -1
The third argument to ldap.result is indeed the timeout.
It usually appears to work :-)
