I suggest you run (adjust to your prefix):

PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ pydoc ldb 

to learn about the python ldb API.  

This a correct tool to interact with LDAP servers of any kind, including
Samba4 as an AD domain controller. 

The 'samba' package includes RPC methods to make higher-level
abstraction calls, see the python tools under scripting/bin and
scripting/python for examples on how to use it.
