I'm not sure your patch does address your problem at the right level.

You're citing RFC 4514 which is about generating a string representation of
distinguished names. IMO in LDIF you're just using those string
representations but you don't have to deal with generating or decoding them -
or at least not within python-ldap's module ldif. Decoding the ASN.1 values
should be definitely done outside module ldif.

So your patch is not accepted.

Giving more input including example data would help understanding which
particular problem you want to solve.

Ciao, Michael.
