BTW: I think python-ldap should expose the following constants:

LDAP_API_VERSION
LDAP_VENDOR_NAME
LDAP_VENDOR_VERSION

This would make it possible that an application can check more
precise the API vendor and version.

Other constants might be interesting as well:

LDAP_API_FEATURE_*

Ciao, Michael.
