I notice that apt-cache policy python-samba shows
  Version table:
 *** 2:4.1.6+dfsg-1ubuntu2.14.04.11 0
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main
amd64 Packages
        500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security/main
amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

So the same version is available in both repos.
