You are missing a key part of the question again: "Is there any chance we can 
use these filters TO GET lib389 objects of the type X".

So for example:

If you do:

Groups(...).filter("sn=hall")

No because it doesn't make sense for a group to match this.

If you did:

Person(...).filter("sn=hall")

Yes! it would work. 

> F2 = "(nsRoleDN=cn=new managed role)"

Groups(...).filter(nsRoleDn=...)

Again, doesn't make sense. But:

Accounts(...).filter(nsRoleDn=...)

Would make sense, to show all Accounts that are part of the role.

> F3 = "(l=sunnyvale)"

Here, l= would make sense on things like:

OrganisationUnits().filter("l=...")
Person("l=...")

> F4 = "(& (| {} {}) {})".format(F2, F1, F3)
> F10 = "(& {} {})".format(F6, F9)

Provdide the type you WANT would satisfy these conditions, yes.

But you would be better to do:

F4 = (&(cond)(cond)(cond))

Rather than str sub. Alternately, use gen_filter. 



So again - you are missing a key element of the question, which is "is this 
filter suitable to get objects of the type I need to work with". Lib389 doesn't 
think like "just search and get generic things" it thinks as "search and get 
strongly typed objects".
