I think it is fixed since release 2.3.7. You should encourage the Debian maintainer to provide an updated package. See CVS: http://python-ldap.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/python-ldap/python-ldap/Modules/functions.c?r1=1.21&r2=1.22 Revision 1.22 Tue Apr 7 16:45:57 2009 UTC (11 months ago) by stroeder Branch: MAIN CVS Tags: PYLDAP_REL_2_3_7 Fixed functions.c not to raise ldap.ENCODING_ERROR in function l_ldap_str2dn() on 64-bit systems (see SF#2725356) Ciao, Michael. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
