Which version of python-ldap and which version of the OpenLDAP libs are you 
using?

Just guessing since you did not mention what "is hanging" means and you did 
not provide a Python traceback: You have to tell where to find the CA's 
certificate by calling

ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_X_TLS_CACERTFILE,path_to_cacert_file) or 
ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_X_TLS_CACERTDIR,path_of_cacert_dir).

See Demo/initialize.py.

Does this binary really have support for LDAP over SSL?

Ciao, Michael.
