[python-ldap] feature request: be more lenient in LDIFParser

[Jephte Clain]

hello,

FYI, I made feature request #18 on
http://sourceforge.net/p/python-ldap/feature-requests/18/ to make
LDIFParser more lenient

here is the description of the feature and the patch is attached:
----------------8<----------------
from the "be lenient with what you parse, be strict in what you write"
departement, I attach a patch which support ldif input with several
blank and/or comment lines between objects
I don't know if this behavior is correct wrt the LDIF standard, but it
is useful for me, because I have LDIF files with comments written by
humans, e.g:

# silly example
dn: uid=one,dc=tld
uid: one

# another silly example
dn: uid=two,dc=tld
uid: two

with the current parser, uid=two is not read because there are two
"blanks" lines before
----------------8<----------------

BTW, is there any plan to migrate python-ldap development to github or
any other similar service based on git?
It has been a long time since I last used CVS. These are all good memories :-)

very best regards,
