Nothing to apologize for,

You dont want to delete a dn, you want modify an object and
delete a single value for a given attribute type.

http://www.python-ldap.org/doc/html/ldap.html?highlight=modify#ldap.LDAPObject.modify_s

You know the dn (the group), now construct the modlist.

Use the modlist facility:
http://www.python-ldap.org/doc/html/ldap-modlist.html#module-ldap.modlist

maybe something like [(MOD_DELETE, 'memberUid', ['the_member_dn'])]

Just be aware in this case, if you pass do not specify a member, or list of
members, you drop the entire multivalued attribute type. Probably not
what you want...
