pysmbc
This page is about the Python bindings for the libsmbclient API from Samba, known as pysmbc. It was written for use with system-config-printer, but can be put to other uses as well.
I work on this module as part of my job at Red Hat.

Great tool, but I was not able to use it.
Wow, I’ve submitted ticket #1: https://fedorahosted.org/pysmbc/ticket/1#preview
I think I’m able to fix it myself, but I know almost nothing about libsmbclient and not sure what smbc_bool actually is.
It’s because you’re using an older version of libsmbclient than pysmbc currently supports.
Hi there,
This is a very useful tool for me, although I am experiencing a problem with version 1.0.10 – when trying to transfer certain non-utf8 files like documents and PDF files, this results in an exception. I have traced down the problem, found a fix, and submitted a ticket at Fedora – please take a look when you have the time – https://fedorahosted.org/pysmbc/ticket/3
Cheers,
Yavor
