import ldap
try:
    l = ldap.open("server")
    l.protocol_version = ldap.VERSION3
    l.set_option(ldap.OPT_REFERRALS, 0)
    output =l.simple_bind("cn=username,cn=Users,dc=domian, dc=net",'password$R')
    print output
except ldap.LDAPError, e:
    print e
baseDN = "DC=rim,DC=net"
searchScope = ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE
## retrieve all attributes - again adjust to your needs - see documentation for more options
retrieveAttributes = None
Filter = "(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=myaccount))"
try:
    ldap_result_id = l.search(baseDN, searchScope, Filter, retrieveAttributes)
    print ldap_result_id
    result_set = []
    while 1:
        result_type, result_data = l.result(ldap_result_id, 0)
        if len(result_data) == 0:
            print 'no reslut'
            break
        else:
            for i in range(len(result_set)):
                for entry in result_set[i]:
                    try:
                        name = entry[1]['cn'][0]

                        desc = entry[1]['description'][0]
                        count = count + 1
                        print "%d.\nName: %s\nDescription: %s\nE-mail: %s\nPhone: %s\n" %\

                    except:
                        pass
                        ## here you don't have to append to a list
                        ## you could do whatever you want with the individual entry
            #if result_type == ldap.RES_SEARCH_ENTRY:
             # result_set.append(result_data)
            #  print result_set
except ldap.LDAPError, e:
    print e
l.unbind()
