This is not the fault of the filter, but the fault of how you are treating these objects. Filter tells you *what entries to find* not what attributes to get from them. To get specific attributes you have to interact with the results of the filter search.
I have formerly mentioned you can assign the results of searches such as:
bhall_account = Accounts(...).filter(F4)[0]
bhall_account is now an Instance of the Account object, which itself is DSLdapObject. Now you have the entry, you can access attributes of it.
values = bhall_account.get_attrs_vals_utf8(['modifiersName','modifyTimestamp'])
print(values)
Should be:
{
"modifiersName": '...',
"modifyTimestamp": '...',
}
I don't know why you still are afraid to assign results from the searches. Fundamentally: DSLdapObjects (and it's subclasses) is the SET of all possible entries, and the gateway to searching. It returns instances of DSLdapObject, that allow direct inspection and manipulation of that
data from the entry. I am worried that there is a still a deep misunderstanding of the API and how to use it, which is causing these problems (and odd accusations ...) and I don't understand how to explain it or help you to get past this barrier because this topic has been circled and discussed for months. How can I help you to understand how to use this properly and correctly?
PS: There is a reason that function has the word "unsafe" in it, so please don't use things marked unsafe in tests or code .... :(
