Please note that 2.0.0pre05 is pretty old. I'd strongly recommend to update.

The python-ldap API only accepts and returns raw strings (somewhat just binary
buffers).

You have to decode the UTF-8 values returned from the LDAP server in your
application and encode it for whatever I/O device you're trying to write
output to.

'Str\xc3\xb6der'.decode('utf-8').encode('cp1251')

Ciao, Michael.
