Well, ldaptor/protocols/ldap/ldapserver.py is for you then.

If you want to reuse ldaptor search logic, search filter
handling, etc, subclass LDAPServer and provide an
IConnectedLDAPEntry adapter from the subclass to something
that implements the actual data storage. That way, you get
to use ldaptor's implementation of search etc; you just
provide a tree-like data structure of LDAP entries.

If you want full control of everything, and are willing
to really implement bind,search&unbind yourself pretty
much from scratch, subclass BaseLDAPServer and provide
methods
  handle_LDAPBindRequest
  handle_LDAPSearchRequest
  handle_LDAPUnbindRequest
see LDAPServer for hints on that.
