python-ldap, modlist and base64

[Matias S. <mat...@gm...>]

Hi!

I'm wondering if there is any example or documentation on how to add
or modify ldap objects whose values contains non-ascii characters,
such as accents, and so on. As far as I understand, those values
should be encoded using base64, but if I do that, I don't know how to
indicate in the modlist that this is the encoded value and not the
value itself.

Any help will be bery appreciated.

You do not have to base64-encode the values. Make sure they are UTF-8,  
and it should work just fine.
