>>> import ldap.modlist
>>> ldap.modlist.modifyModlist({'cn':'Mike'},{'cn':'Michael
Stroeder','mail':'michael at stroeder.com'})
[(0, 'mail', 'michael at stroeder.com'), (1, 'cn', None), (0, 'cn', 'Michael
Stroeder')]

So basically you read the old_entry dict with an search operation, derive a
new_entry dict from it, tweak that and pass old_entry and new_entry to this
function.

Ciao, Michael.
