There was somebody working on a Python-based syncrepl client but not in
refreshAndPersist mode. You may want to dig python-ldap-dev's mailing
list archive and come over there.

You could also deploy slapo-accesslog and watch out for recent changes
there by polling the accesslog database in small time intervals.
