nearly done with ldb -ldapsearch.
one more question:
how can i handle the exception (when no rootdse is found,
means, no slapds running). i tried this:

 try:
        ldapi_uri = "ldapi://" +
urllib.quote(os.path.join(paths.private_dir, "ldap", "ldapi"), safe="")
        ldapi_db = Ldb(ldapi_uri)
        search_ol_rootdse = ldapi_db.search(base="", scope=SCOPE_BASE,
                          expression="(objectClass=OpenLDAProotDSE)");
        message(search_ol_rootdse)

    except ldb.LdbError, e:
        message("ldap-search Output:")
   
but i got this error, when slapd is not up:

" except ldb.LdbError, e:
NameError: global name 'ldb' is not defined"


when i try:
except ldapi_db.LdbError, e:
 
instead, i got the following error:
"AttributeError: 'Ldb' object has no attribute 'LdbError'"


thanks,
