I think we have a slight misunderstanding here. Please let us remind you
that unless you are using linux you cannot mount SMB shares since you
lack the smbfs module which is a smb client actually. The SMB client
library is very useful in that respect, thus effectively allows other
operating systems to access MS servers. Since python offers bindings for
every other library in this planet I don't really see why such an
addition would be  useless or inconsistent.

The thread was about SMB clients not SMB servers.
