Which LDAP server? Active Directory? Note that python-ldap 1.x cannot
open an LDAPv3 connection. It's limited to LDAPv2 which is not allowed
with Active Directory I suspect. There are other caveats of 1.x and LDAPv2.

Unfortunately there's currently no Win32 build available of python-ldap 
2.x which is based on OpenLDAP 2.x libs.

The synchronous method search_s() is what you probably like to use. It
returns the search result als list of 2-tuples containing the
distinguished name (string) and the entry (dictionary).

More information about your setup is needed. Which server? Is simple 
authentication enabled at the server at all?

You should use the synchronous version for binding in any case.

l.simple_bind_s('uid=xxxxx,ou=myou,o=myorg','xxxxx')

search() in opposite to search_s() returns an integer representing the
message ID of the started LDAP operation which is then used when calling
result(). That's probably not what you want.
