Its not that late that I can't tell you that the record does exist and 
the python error above has been fixed in a later version.

Try checking /etc/resolv.conf, it should be:

search [domain].work

nameserver <the DC's ipaddress>

I seem to remember Bind9 being mentioned, is it running ?

Is /etc/hosts set up correctly ?
