addModlist works on the dictionary of an entry which you get for every
search result. You get something like this: [('cn=foo,o=bar',
{'objectClass': ['top', 'account'], 'uid': ['1028'], 'cn': ['Foo
Bar']}), (second result)]
Get the data dictionary and use addModlist. See here some sample code
from the python console:
>>> a = {'objectClass': ['top', 'account'], 'uid': ['1028'], 'cn': ['Foo Bar']}
>>> import ldap.modlist
>>> ldap.modlist.addModlist(a)
[('objectClass', ['top', 'account']), ('uid', ['1028']), ('cn', ['Foo Bar'])]

The result is your modlist. I hope this makes verything clear.
