Patch for TypeError in shares.py

[Ricardo Jorge]

Hi everyone.

When trying to obtain the length of a SharesContainer object, which
has __len__ defined, the script would exit with the error "Fix for
TypeError: argument of type 'LoadParm' is not iterable"
It can be fixed by calling the services() method (which is partof
LoadParm) which returns a List item.

==================
Test
==================
#!/usr/bin/env python
import param, shares

samba_lp = param.LoadParm()
samba_lp.load_default()

container = shares.SharesContainer(samba_lp)
print len(container)

Result: Fix for TypeError: argument of type 'LoadParm' is not iterable

=================
Workarounds
=================

You can use.

1. len(samba_lp)
 Number 1, will also return the global section so you shoud use
len(samba_lp) - 1

2. len(container.keys())
