Schema-API

[Jens Vagelpohl]

i'm trying to run the Demo/schema.py script and steppping through it with 
pdb there's an oddity i see, which prevents the script from running 
successfully:

- ldapobject.py line 548 (in method search_subschemasubentry) a search is 
done on the passed-in DN to retrieve the value for the attribute 
"subschemaSubentry". the search is successful and returns...

[('dc=vts,dc=zope,dc=com', {'subschemaSubentry': ['cn=Subschema']})]

- in line 555 there is the following call:

e = ldap.cidict.cidict(r[0][1])  (r is the result shown above)

- at this point "e" has the following value:

{'subschemasubentry': ['cn=Subschema']}  (notice: "subschemasubentry" is 
all lowercase now)

- now the problem is in line 556 in the call...

search_subschemasubentry_dn = e.get('subschemaSubentry', [None])[]  
(notice: it expects camelcase again...)

... at this point the result is None and the script dies a little later.
