For the initialize() function, it would be useful to be able to somehow specify only a domain name and then ask python-ldap to look up the list of candidate LDAP servers from _ldap._tcp. SRV records. In a RFC 2052 compliant environments (Microsoft AD, IBM Security Directory Server, and possibly others), this would allow less hard-coding of LDAP server names, and therefore better robustness in cases where domain controller server names change, due to server replacements, etc.
