Without seeing the LDIF data and your code I can't tell what's going on.

I would not claim that module 'ldif' has really awesome docs.
But did you follow the example with LDIFParser in the docs?

http://www.python-ldap.org/doc/html/ldif.html#example

It illustrates that for LDIF stream processing one basically derives a class
from ldif.LDIFParser overriding method handle(). The most basic test would be
something like this:

[..]
   def handle(self,dn,entry):
     print '***dn',repr(dn)
     pprint.pprint(entry)

And then carefully look at the output.

Ciao, Michael.
