Class

class CN(DN):
    __cn = ""
    def __init__( self, dn ):
        items = dn.split( ",", 1 )
        if items[0][:2] == "cn":
            self.__cn = items[0][3:]
            DN.__init__( self, items[1] )
        if self.__cn == "" and self.__o == "":
            raise ValueError, "CN requires values for both cn and o"
    def toString(self):
        return "cn="+self.__cn+","+DN.toString(self)

def selftest_passes():
    cn1 = CN("cn=c,o=a");
    cn2 = CN("cn=d,ou=b,o=a");
    return (cn1.toString() == "cn=c,o=a" and
            cn2.toString() == "cn=d,ou=b,o=a")

assert( selftest_passes() )
