It's not a bug in Python.  It looks to me like a configuration problem.

I'm going to assume you have a good reason for bypassing your OS's
package management system.  In general, this is a bad idea, but since
this isn't a linux administration list, I'll leave it at that.

So you configured it, and built it, but did not install it, right?
You didn't do a make install or make altinstall?  Installing would
presumably have put the files in the right place for them to be picked
up by python.  Since you just built samba without installing it, it
looks like you have to point python to the right place.

Right, that's not surprising.  samba.netcmd.main is a python package,
not a module, so it won't be named samba.netcmd.main.py or whatever
you were thinking.

You'll want to add the directory up to the "/python" bit.  I'm not
sure which one of those three is really the right location for the
module you're looking for, but I would start by trying
'/root/samba-master/bin/python'.  From there, python should be able to
find the samba package.

This is not a good way to leave your system.  It's okay if you're just
testing the new samba build, but you really ought to install the
software, not just run it out of the build directory.  Best of all
would be to install a version that's actually been packaged up for
your OS using the CentOS packaging system.
