OK. The important bit is this:

Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://" & strDomain & "/" & strUserName &
",user")

which equates to this in python (assumes you have installed win32all
extensions):

<code>
import win32com.client
domain_name = "VOUK"
user_name = "goldent"
user = win32com.client.GetObject ("WinNT://%s/%s,user" % (domain_name,
user_name))
</code>

And then you just iterate over the user.Groups () method, like this:

<code>
group_names = []
for group in user.Groups ():
  group_names.append (group.Name)

print group_names
</code>

The stuff with the dictionary you can ignore, because
 you'll be using Python's own structures: lists of Dicts
 depending on what you want to do.
