Which has the following:

Python Scripting Interface
==========================

A new scripting interface has been added to Samba 4, allowing
Python programs to interface to Samba's internals, and many tools and

As I understand, Active Directory is the center, so to speak, of a 
Windows server universe. The Wikipedia entry may be clearer than some of 
Microsoft's pages.
