Hai,
There a few ways to avoid this error.
1) Report is as bug @debian include the bugzilla report.
2) Ask debian to upgrade samba to latest 4.9.x or 4.10.x .
Note: The are much more of these "python" 2/3 errors but these are fixed in later samba versions.
3) build samba yourself, (you have 2 says, compile, of re-build-packages )
I can give you the steps on debian, but you might need some of my sources.
4) enable my repo and use these samba packages.
