One needs to be careful with installing other python versions on a
system and making them available system-wide. Upstream samba doesn't yet

if which pycompile >/dev/null 2>&1; then
pycompile -p python-samba

Can you run pycompile? In a new xenial container where I installed
python-samba, I can:
root@xenial-samba-python-backtrace:~# pycompile -p python-samba
root@xenial-samba-python-backtrace:~#
