== Python smbclient wrapper. ==

This is a wrapper that works by running the "smbclient" subprocess and providing
an API similar to the one provided by python `os` module.

It is an ugly hack, but it is here for anyone that finds it useful.

The programmer before me was using a "bash" file with lots of smbclient calls, 
so I think my solution is at least better.

=== Usage example ===

{{{
>>> smb = smbclient.SambaClient(server="MYSERVER", share="MYSHARE", 
                                username='foo', password='bar', domain='baz')
>>> print smb.listdir("/")
[u'file1.txt', u'file2.txt']
>>> f = smb.open('/file1.txt')
>>> data = f.read()
>>> f.close()
>>> smb.rename(u'/file1.txt', u'/file1.old')
}}}

==== Creating the object ====

{{{
import smbclient
smb = smbclient.SambaClient(server, share, username=None, password=None,
                            domain=None, resolve_order=None, port=None, ip=None,
                            terminal_code=None, buffer_size=None,
                            debug_level=None, config_file=None, logdir=None,
                            netbios_name=None, kerberos=False)
}}}

If you want to use kerberos authentication just use the argument 
{{{kerberos=True}}} and you don't need to pass username and password.
