[Samba] Using samba-python to query AD? Status of API?

[pisymbol .]

Hello:

I'd really like to leverage the samba-python API to perform 'net ads
search' style queries for an upcoming project.

Is there any documentation or examples someone can point me to? The
'python/examples' directory is a misnomer (!) and the online API
documentation was generated from 2011 and is also just as cryptic.

I even checked the binaries in samba-client to see if any existing
utilities are using these Python libraries but alas, they are show up
as ELFs! :-(

Any pointers or insights into leveraging these module will be much appreciated!
