[Tutor] LDAP search with ldap library module failing

Are you sure it gets what is expected? ldapsearch limits the results to
500 - maybe the LDAP library does not. How many entries do you expect?

Why are you using such an outdated version? Any chance you upgrade to
Python 2.7?

There are several ways, Two are reading the LDAP server logs, and
tcpdumping the connection to see if anything happens. I am pretty
certain that this is not an issue with your code.

This is why I say "never use ipython". The error message is complete
non-sense.
