I did a similar search a while ago and settled on using Ldaptor. The
basic LDAP client functionality
in Ldaptor seems rock solid. I believe the original, sole author has
not been active in a while, but the
code looks very well written and as long as it works that's good enough for me.

I have needed to make a few changes to Ldaptor to make it work for my
application. These
changes are currently published at http://github.com/antong/ldaptor.

Good luck and do post your results!
