Sorry for following up so late. Did you make any progress in the mean-time? Do
you want to contribute your deref implementation to python-ldap?

Hmm, not sure whether using LDAPObject.set_option() method really works when
using controls.

You should add all the request controls for a search request to list argument
serverctrls when invoking LDAPObject.search_ext()/search_ext_s():
