Can you please post the LDAP filter strings you tested with?

Can you reproduce the same results with OpenLDAP's command-line tool
ldapcompare? If yes, please discuss the question on the
OpenLDAP-Software mailing list (see http://www.openldap.org/lists/)
detailing your tests.

What exactly do you mean with comparing entries? Please describe in
slightly more detail what you are trying to achieve.

You can off course simply retrieve entries with a search request and
compare attributes in your Python application.

Ciao, Michael.
