[python3-ldap] issue extracting jpegPhoto from LDAP

[python3ldap]

Hello Nikolay,
thanks for your suggestion, I'm aware of the raw bytes vs str problem. I'd
like to address it in two ways:

1. I'd like to have an "autoDiscover" in the server object) to find
attributes syntax mapping (accessing the schema on the server)

2. define an additional parameter in the attribute list to specify the
requested decoding of the attribute.

The latter is almost the same of your proposal.I think I will implement it
soon, now I'm working on referrarls. I should have a working alpha release
for tomorrow.

Thanks for your support and appreciation.

bye,
gc

Sorry, there were errors in my previous code. It shall be like this:

line 286:
- def decodeAttributeList(attributeList):
+ def decodeAttributeList(attributeList, raw=False):
+     conv = bytes if raw else str

line 289
-          attributes.append((str(attribute['type']),
decodeVals(attribute['vals'])))
+         attributes.append((str(attribute['type']), [conv(val) for val in
attribute['vals'] if val] or None))

line 383-384
-                'attrs': decodeAttributeList(response['attributes'])
+               'attrs': decodeAttributeList(response['attributes']),
+               'byte_attrs': decodeAttributeList(response['attributes'],
raw=True)
