It generally looks good from a Python bindings perspective. It's nicely 
arranged, and it looks like you have put some thought into making the 
interface python-user-friendly. Whether it makes sense from a ctdb point 
of view is beyond me.

I'd prefer a new CTDBError, rather than extending our use of 
RuntimeError. This is hard to fix later because the exceptions are part 
of the API.

Also I am not sure you have covered all the possible leaks, because a) I 
haven't properly looked, and b) it is hard to do and you have ~4000 lines.

If it had tests it would be ready for a MR.

thanks!
