escape_dn_chars

[Bertrand C. <ber...@fr...>]

Hi,
  I wasn't able to find a function to escape chars in DN strings, so I
wrote this one (based on escape_filter_chars):

def escape_dn_chars(s):
	s =3D s.replace('\\', r'\5C')
	s =3D s.replace(',', r'\2C')
	s =3D s.replace('=3D', r'\3D')
	s =3D s.replace('+', r'\2B')
	return s

Feel free to use/modify it in python-ldap (license: PSFL, as
python-ldap)

Thanks for contributing it. I've added a new function 
ldap.dn.escape_dn_chars() in a new sub-module ldap.dn to CVS. It was 
taken from web2ldap which also handles two special cases with # as first 
char and a trailing space.

Please test!

Ciao, Michael.
