Unfortunately I seem to have missed that all the pinyin options require python2 at this time -so it's a moot discussion for now. I did find that there is another alternative in ibus-libpinyin which I got some positive feedback on.
cifs-utils is still worth discussing anyway, but we can move that to community.ubuntu.com for more feedback. Thanks!
