Hmm. That only moved the exception. File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ldap/ldapobject.py", line 421, in result3 rtype, rdata, rmsgid, serverctrls = ldap_result ValueError: need more than 3 values to unpack
I put the statement above into a try..except block and checked the value when the exception occurs. This line ldap_result = self._ldap_call(self._l.result3,msgid,all,timeout) assigns (None,None,None) to ldap_result, a 3-tuple instead of a 4-tuple. Once data becomes available from the LDAP server, then it returns a 4- tuple as expected.
