I've recently checked in the patches contributed by Hans Aschauer 
which wraps the schema parser function in OpenLDAP 2 libs and 
provide a new sub module ldap.schema.

I also made some changes to the Python parts which I will check in 
this weekend.

Well, full LDAPv3 schema support goes far beyond just knowing 
which attribute types are required/allowed. Especially it would be 
very interesting to implement a set of syntaxes with their 
matching rules. This would allow to check the syntax of data input 
and display the data with more a-priori knowledge.

Ciao, Michael.
