I don't think so. The only python SMB stuff I'm aware of is:

https://pysmb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

I think only Samba does the management stuff. However,
most of our management stuff is drivable directly from
python, as that's how we do much of the testing.

Talk to David Mulder from SuSE or some of the Catalyst
Team as they know much more about this than I.
