Thanks for showing me my ignorance. I was not knowing about * and + !
Easy, only named attributes will be converted!
In this case maybe is it possible to use [ '*', u'givenName', u'sn' ]
to convert only 'givenName' and 'sn'

YES and I hope you will integrate my patch in your mainstream source code
:-)

not low-level

Here is my work on progress

class UnicodeLDAPObject(LDAPObject):

    expiration_delay=300

    def __init__(self, uri, **kwargs):
        LDAPObject.__init__(self, uri, **kwargs)
        self.unicode_decoder={}
        self.unicode_decoder_expire=[]

    def search_ext(self,base,scope, **kwargs):
        #
filterstr='(objectClass=*)',attrlist=None,attrsonly=0,serverctrls=None,clientctrls=None,timeout=-1,sizelimit=0

        # convert filter
        try:
            kwargs['filter']=unicode2utf8(kwargs['filter'])
        except KeyError:
            pass

        # convert arglist and keep a copy of original values for later
decoding
        try:
            attrlist=kwargs['attrlist']
            kwargs['attrlist']=map(unicode2utf8(kwargs['attrlist']))
        except KeyError:
            attrlist=None

        mesgid=LDAPObject.search_ext(self,base,scope, **kwargs)

        if attrlist:
            self.unicode_decoder[mesgid]=attrlist
            self.unicode_decoder_expire.append((mesgid,
datetime.datetime.now()+datetime.timedelta(seconds=self.expiration_delay)))

        return mesgid

    def result3(self, **kwargs):
        # msgid=_ldap.RES_ANY,all=1,timeout=None):
        rtype, rdata, rmsgid, decoded_serverctrls=LDAPObject.result3(self,
**kwargs)
