Rephrase: Set of chars. ;-]

Note that entry dicts must have *list* of attribute values for each attribute:

>>> old_values = {
... 'department': ['Blue Sky'],
... }
>>>
>>> new_values = {
... 'department': ['Sky Blue'],
... }
>>>
>>> mods = ldap.modlist.modifyModlist(old_values, new_values)
>>> mods
[(1, 'department', None), (0, 'department', ['Sky Blue'])]

Ciao, Michael.
