Can you elaborate a bit more? If the python bindings are well, just that,
aren't they subject to the same limitations as the rpcclient binary itself,
i.e. gen_ndr et al not copying out the raw SD?

Or are you saying there is a way for me to send the underlying RPC itself
to bypass all of this stuff like rpcclient does via the bindings?

i would be thrilled to get the Python stuff working. I once looked into
this about a year or so ago but there wan't any documentation and I think
the whole Python bindings stuff was still in flux at the time.

AFAICT, it's not officially supported yet, right? i.e. it's in major
flux.
But I could be misrepresenting the current state of python API/bindings for
samba.

The Python would give you an SD object that you can do what you want
with, either pack it again in NDR, endode it into SDDL or inspect it
manually.

This is just about complete Python3 support.  Python2 works fine with
Python 2.6 or later (but please, please use 2.7), and the RPC stuff
probably works with Python3.

There isn't major flux, and existing scripts should keep working with
the Python3 work.

Please take a look again.  

In terms of how to use it, there are some good examples now in the
traffic_runner tool and the tests for auth_audit.

While the particular interface you want is probably not previously
used, other examples should help you pattern it.

Thanks,
