SMB/CIFS seems pretty complex, but that said the operations that duplicity 
needs are very simple in nature. I suppose that if there exists a library 
implementation of the protocol that is suitable for use from Python it would 
not necessarily be entirely unrealistic.

I Googled and found a modern Java library, and some very old (1999) talk of 
libsmb. Does anyone know if there are suitable libraries usable today? A 
quick google/website check on samba did not yield anything entirely obvious, 
as to whether there is a documented stand-alone library.
