Check out the python command call -- it allows you to run a command as if you
were at a shell prompt. Using this and the ldb tools to modify the SAM database
included with Samba4 you can create pretty much script any conceivable action
for users/groups.
I'd personally recommend using ldbmodify with an ldif file over any of the
other ldbtool, this will be the easiest to script. For some basics on ldif
files, check out http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ch8/
Also don't forget about MS AD tools -- they might not lend themselves to
scripting but they give a very nice front for management.
Good luck,
Mike Ray

Subject: [Samba] python scripting samba
Can someone point me to some documentation on scripting samba user and
group management from python? I'd much rather not do this via calls out
to samba-tool, and if I could do this remotely (via LDAP like calls) I'd
be even happier.
Cheers,
Geoff
