Because of prefix "OID."? It should be simply like this?

0.2.262.1.10.7.20=1 + CN=DIR DATEV D12 1:PN, O=DATEV eG, C=DE

No. Will try to extend python-ldap C Lib wrapper...

BTW: This is a probably quite old public OpenLDAP server:

The connection is indeed a LDAPv3 connection. Will try to contact them 
to fix that broken installation.

Ciao, Michael.
