You can also bind to the user object via LDAP:
import win32com.client
userDN = 'CN=Joe Schmoe, OU=Customer Support, OU=Employees,
DC=yourdomain, DC=com'
user = win32com.client.GetObject('LDAP://' + userDN)

You can then get the groups that the user belongs to in this manner:

for group in user.memberOf:
    print group

I believe that LDAP is the "preferred" way to work with AD.  Whether you
prefer it or not, of course, is a different story ;-)
