A series of articles by Matt Butcher about python-ldap:

This also covers SASL.
Python LDAP Applications: Part 2 - LDAP Operations
Python LDAP Applications: Part 3 - More LDAP Operations and the LDAP URL Library
Python LDAP Applications: Part 4 - LDAP Schema
Gee, someone waded through the yet undocumented mysteries of module ldap.schema.
