For "convenience", the old Entry class returns None for missing 
attributes. This unfortunately applies to __str__ as well, so you can't 
convert Entries to strings. Surprisingly, exactly that is done in 
ipaldap itself.

A quick fix could be to change `'entry=%s' % (entry)` to `'entry=%s' % 
entry.toDict()`.
