If don't know if this is more clearly stated, but here's what I gleaned from this page and sorted out from a little extra Google-ing:

def do_auth (server, share, workgroup, username, password):
  return ('MYDOMAIN', 'myacct', 'mypassword')


# Create the context
ctx = smbc.Context (auth_fn=do_auth)
destfile = "myfile.txt"
source = open('/home/myuser/textfile.txt', 'r')
# open a SMB/CIFS file and write to it
file = ctx.open ('smb://server/share/folder/'+destfile, os.O_CREAT | os.O_WRONLY)
for line in source:
        file.write (line)
file.close()
source.close()

# open a SMB/CIFS file and read it to a local file
source = ctx.open ('smb://server/share/folder/'+destfile, os.O_RDONLY)
destfile = "/home/myuser/textfile.txt"
fle = open(destfile, 'w')
for line in source:
        file.write (line)
file.close()
source.close()
