samba - Jul 2012 - Is there any instrospection GPO Python API available on Samba 4?

Hello Everybody,

Is there any API available on Samba 4 that allows GPO's introspection?? (If
a Python API doesn't exist I'll try to generate binds with Swig!?)

Truly, I need something that allow me to query GPO by Guid(for example),
list some attributes (Display Name, OU that is linked, security attr) and
see or catch the value of the items defined (Computer Configuration, User
Configuration, etc.), something like that.

I tried with the MS Native API (Just work on windows and with RSAT
installed), but it just dump a XML or HTML Files with the values, which
becomes a overwhelming work for filtering and treatment.

Thanks in advance,

We have some C code in libgpo and python code in 
source4/scripting/python/samba/netcmd/gpo.py

We also have registry parsing code that might help you deal with the
resulting objects. 

However, much more remains to be done.
