Here's what I've done, with LDAP queries that can
return arbitrarily many results:

tocols.ldap.ldapsyntax.LDAPObject-class.html#search
Basically, you can either pass a callback to search() that
will be called once per result, or if you don't pass one,
it'll gather all the results into a list. The Deferred you
get either evaluates to None or to a list of results,
depending on whether you passed the callback or not.
