Do you mean python-ldap connections or connections to an OpenLDAP server 
from Python?

Can you check in the server's log whether unbind is processed?

Is that really necessary?

Well, using ReconnectLdapObject and doing bind-search-unbind all the time is 
somewhat contradictory since ReconnectLdapObject is for keeping long-lasting 
connections alive. But this should not be the problem.

Any network problems in between?

What server (vendor and version) is this? Which version of python-ldap and 
which version OpenLDAP libs are used?

Ciao, Michael.
