I am sorry, but there is absolutely no way that I am even going to try 
to fix this. Samba 4.7.x went EOL nearly 4 years ago and Samba no longer 
uses python 2.
I suggest you upgrade and then, if you still have the problem, I will 
take a look at it.

You're right about the EOL, I'm slowly updating my AD setup by adding 
new DC machines and demoting the old ones.

But the error is not strictly related to Python2 but with Bash script, 
which is calling "samba-tool delete" with an empty IP parameter...
(and
IP address is a required parameter).
Maybe newer samba-tool version won't complain, but I still think that's 
a wrong call.

Anyway it's ok for me, I've patched the script on my side.
I'll try to speed up the migration ;)

Best regards
