Hello,
A kludge, which I don't like much, would be to move the definition of Pool
into the common part of the jcr.
A much better solution, would be to enhance the Python scripting interface to
include all the variables you want. Most likely all except %s (Since) are
implemented, so it wouldn't be very hard. See src/dird/pythondir.c (if I
remember the name correctly), then just duplicate the code necessary.
Since Python can already submit a run command, the rest should be rather easy
and in the long run, much more powerful.
