Are there Python3 libraries for the net commands and etc?

These already have bindings. See the python module `samba.net_s3`.

This appears to just do an ldap search for the local host, to see info 
about the join?
You could write something similar using the samba.samdb python module.
So,
```
from samba.samdb import SamDB
from samba.auth import system_session
samdb = SamDB(url='ldap://some-server', session_info=system_session(), 
credentials=creds, lp=lp)
samdb.search(...)
```
The net ads status command searches for these attributes:
                 "objectClass",
                 "SamAccountName",
                 "userAccountControl",
                 "DnsHostName",
                 "ServicePrincipalName",
                 "userPrincipalName",
                 "unicodePwd",
                 "msDS-AdditionalDnsHostName",
                 "msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypes",
                 "nTSecurityDescriptor",
                 "objectSid"
With the filter: `"(samAccountName=%s$)" % machine_name`

> smb_mgmt_net_conf_setparm

We don't have bindings for these right now. It probably wouldn't be 
difficult to add them though.
