async.LDIFWriter

[Andrew Thomson]

Thanks, that's perfect..

one other question if I may.. how can I modify the following,

__init__(self, output_file, base64_attrs=None, cols=76, line_sep='\n')
    output_file
        file object for output
    base64_attrs
        list of attribute types to be base64-encoded in any case
    cols
        Specifies how many columns a line may have before it's
        folded into many lines.
    line_sep
        String used as line separator

to increase the column length.. some of my entries are wrapping.

Regards,

ajt.
