Ha, right guess...

Well, you could use python-ldap which has a sub-module ldap.modlist which is 
kind of a delta-generator (see 
http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/doc/python-ldap/module-ldap.modlist.html).

I usually use it for this kind of jobs at my customers' installations. It is 
not schema-aware though.

Ciao, Michael.
