Use the key-word argument sizelimit:
http://www.python-ldap.org/doc/html/ldap.html#ldap.LDAPObject.search_ext
If you actually want to retrieve the partial results until
ldap.SIZELIMIT_EXCEEDED is raised you have to use the async search method and
retrieve the results as they come. You also might want to use ldap.resiter for
that.
