[PATCH] Password Settings Object (PSO) support for Samba

[Tim Beale]

Hi William,

Thanks for the feedback. That's a good point about the netcmd code layout.

Given that the new PSO samba-tool code is pretty self-contained, and
domain.py is already 4000+ lines long, I think it'd make sense to keep
it as a separate file.

However, one problem is the python import won't like having both a
domain.py file and a domain/ sub-directory. So are you suggesting that I
move netcmd/domain.py --> netcmd/domain/__init__.py? I just thought I'd
double-check, as that might have ramifications for other people with
back-porting patches, or for work in progress changes, etc.

I guess another option might be to have a more generically named
sub-directory, e.g.

netcmd/
    domain.py
    subcmd/
        __init__.py
        pso.py

The python import would then look something like: from
samba.netcmd.subcmd.pso import cmd_domain_passwordsettings_pso

Let me know if you (or anyone else) have any thoughts on this.

Thanks,
Tim
