Samba4 first release, with python interface for the internals api,
and a implementation of the DC in python :).
Viva la python!!!!
I forgot to put the link of the good news
https://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-4.0.0.html
Which has the following:
Python Scripting Interface
==========================
A new scripting interface has been added to Samba 4, allowing
Python programs to interface to Samba's internals, and many tools and
internal workings of the DC code is now implemented in python.
which is indeed great news for Pythonistas who work with Samba.

You don't have access to the web where you are? :-)

Samba is the standard Windows interoperability suite of programs for
Linux and Unix.
Samba is Free Software licensed under the GNU General Public License, the
Samba project is a member of the Software Freedom Conservancy.
Since 1992, Samba has provided secure, stable and fast file and print
services for all clients using the SMB/CIFS protocol, such as all
versions of DOS and Windows, OS/2, Linux and many others.
Samba is an important component to seamlessly integrate Linux/Unix
Servers and Desktops into Active Directory environments using the winbind
daemon.

As I understand, Active Directory is the center, so to speak, of a
Windows server universe. The Wikipedia entry may be clearer than some of
Microsoft's pages.
