This translates to: No problem to remove the related code from LDAPObject.c.

Derive from ldap.ldapobject.LDAPObject and override all the relevant methods.

I have a bunch of ideas like this. But I have to make up my mind how to 
implement these without stacking to many classes above each other. Maybe 
some kind of mix-in classes would help.

One could think of a registration dictionary for exception handlers.

You're own your own with that.
