Yes, for the moment you have just the example in the API documentation, 
for which you can get an on-line version here:

http://cosmos.iasf-milano.inaf.it/pandora/docs/samp/

as Mark wrote you, or you can find two examples included within the 
SAMPy tarball: client.py and iclient.py which are almost the same 
example but using the SAMPClient class and SAMPIntegratedClient class 
respectively. I think to add other examples and/or a tutorial in the 
future (by the way, any third party contribution is appreciated), but 
for the time being that's all you have (sorry).

In any case if you or somebody else need any help, please don't hesitate 
to contact me.
