How would you like to assist? We essentially need more parts of Samba migrated to python3 compatible code, both in the C bindings (most of the work is in this area) and the python code. All changes need tests, including where the existing code is not tested (which can make this quite a bit of work). Have a look over the latest set of changes to get an idea what kind of work is required. Thanks, Andrew Bartlett
