Split entries from LDAP

[Lars]

Hi
I got some programming experience and I recently started looking into
Python. I've read much of the tutorial from 2.6 documentation. But it
was more interesting to get started on something I needed. I'm trying
to create a script that creates a variable list (just a txt file to be
included in bash scripts) with hosts from LDAP. The file will include
some static entries and the hosts based on 'cn', 'ipHostNumber' and I
might as well set the 'description' as commen,t when the list from
LDAP is created.
I got all the entries in the variable "raw_res" and I now got some
doubts on how to split each value up in every entry. Belove you can
see one of entries printed from the loop.
cn=world.dom.dk,ou=Hosts,o=Users,dc=dom,dc=dk', {'ipHostNumber':
['192.168.0.43'], 'cn': ['world.dom.dk'], 'description':
['Mail&webserver']})"

I've tried different things, but don't quite know to split the tuple.
The examples I've seen is with a nice clean list ("a", "b", "z"), and
mine is full of special characters and etc., so some direction would
be appreciated.
