...and OpenLDAP. So the likelihood is very high that python-ldap does
not have a bug.

It's a ApacheDS bug.

Hmm, you're very generous with my spare time.

I did and watching the LDAP traffic with Wireshark shows that ApacheDS
returns the attribute values although searchRequest::typesOnly is True
on the wire. In opposite to that OpenLDAP's slapd does not return any
attribute values in this case.

I suspect ldapsearch -A also changes the way how found entries are
displayed.

Please next time use Wireshark to track things down.

Ciao, Michael.
