thanks for this tip, i will keep it in mind for a later stage.

as mentioned earlier in this thread, im not so experienced with python 
at the moment,
but i think i got a good starting point, as im familiar enough with 
other scripting languages.

the primary goal for this task is to extend the functionallity of the 
backend-provisioning script
with samba4/openldap-mmr capabilities,
and though its maybe not the optimal way of python-scripting right now,
the base-setup is working stable since yesterday.

there are still many open sub-tasks, so at  this stage of development 
its for me not about
how elegantly it may could be done,
just primarily get it done first.

you are free to optimize the python part, when the wanted
level of functionality is reached.
