Ok, many thanks.

IMHO the documentation about this creates a bit 'of confusion:
http://www.python-ldap.org/doc/html/ldap.html#options
OPT_SIZELIMIT is listed in options settable via ldap.set_option()

Yes, resiter is very cool.
I'm grateful for your work in python-ldap library: a beautiful piece of code.
