Hello everyone,
I found the right way to do this:
from samba.dcerpc import samr
from samba import credentials
cred = credentials.Credentials()
cred.set_username("admin")
cred.set_password("password")
pipe = samr.samr("ncacn_ip_tcp:ip_addr", credentials=cred)
This popped up from the SummerOfCode lists. Thanks to Andrew it has been brought to my attention.
