Great that helps a lot, then i can safely make the debian heimdal package and add a new 4.7 ADDC.
I want the multi threaded support :-))

Ah, new thing learn here, i didnt know only python 2 supports AD DC.

Is it still advisable to enable the python3, or just stick to 2.7 and wait for samba to be fully ready.
Do we missing features if i dont enable python3. 

What you do guys preffer, enable both, or only 2.7 ( and dont take debian in this ) 
I want a pure developers mind set. What helps the best for you guys? 


Best regards,
