You're going to kick yourself when you see the mistake.

Ah, but l -is- an instance of your class. You want l to refer to the
ldap connection, but you forgot do assign it to self.l -- in __init__,
you assign l to simply a local variable, which goes poof as soon as
__init__ returns. You forgot the self.l throughout both __init__ and
search.
You get the slighty misleading traceback because there is an "l" defined
-- it just happens to be the one in globals(), the l = NSCLdap() that
got assigned when you imported/ran the module.
Replace l = NSCLdap() with q = NSCLdap() (and l.search with q.search),
and you'll get a NameError instead.
