Yea, for python please ;)

BTW: My 2cents WRT swat. It reminds me of webmit which I didn't like 
(sorry). It's just a GUI wrapped around smb.conf whilst I think a "role 
based" architecture with plugins to implement them might be worth a 
thought. A "role" might be "domain controller", "member server", "share 
mode"... I realize this will not be perfect since it can't match up with 
sambas inherent flexibilty but users stretching samba to its limits will 
mess with smb.conf anyway. A management API would be great...
