unicode value

[Alain Spineux]

Why does python-ldap not convert automatically any unicode string into
UTF-8 before
to call the raw function ?

Is-it by design or just a lack of time ?

The idea is to replace any argument using this function.

def convert2raw(st):
    if isinstance(st, types.UnicodeType)
        return st.encode('utf-8')
    else
        return st

Easy for the filter argument of the "search" function, more work for
structure used
by "modify" and other, but still easy ?

This way we keep compatibility with older code.

Any comment ?

Ops: don't forget to make the the decoding of ldap result :-)


Best regards
