Well, why do you really need that? I don't have client-side sorting in web2ldap because it won't scale with large search results. Some of my customers have more than 100k person/user entries in their directories. >> 2. One should always try out whether a DSA supports a particular control >> within a certain naming context.

The function DelTree() is in pylib/w2lapp/delete.py. If the tree deletion control cannot or shall not be used it also makes use of some operational attributes (e.g. hasSubordinates etc.) to determine whether a found entry is a leaf-entry. > Tring to learn ldap programing from web2ldap now. Thanks for your great > program. :) Bear in mind that I started learning Python when the first code was written almost 11 years ago. So I have to admit that many parts are really ugly code and not really good programming examples.
