There is no 'out of the box' version for upgrade on Ubuntu 12 at this point short of having to compile it ourselves, that is (situation is similar to CentOS 6 where the last release is 2.1.12). But that's a discussion best had with the Ubuntu folks. > However - embedding python is a pain in the arse.

Indeed. In the meanwhile I've decided to work around it by using ldap.attrmap with a load of Tmp-String-* entries and hoping to feed those into a standard (non-C-linked) Python module for assembly into a compliant XML string. :-) Thanks for the heads-up.
