-- Python scripting support:
-  A Python script will be called at particular points or conditions
-  in Bacula called Events. The currently defined Events are called:
-
-  StartJob, EndJob, NewVolume
-
-  Where StartJob is called before the RunBeforeJob, EndJob is called 
-  after RunAfterJob, and NewVolume, is called before all other 
-  "methods" of obtaining a new Volume name, when one is needed.
-
-  The Python script of the same name as the Event name (but with a .py) 
-  is called from the Scripts Directory (a directive defined in the
-  Director resource).  Note, both the Filename, and the name of
-  the function in the file must correspond to the Event name.
-
-  Once the Python script gets control, it can have access to Bacula
-  variables by doing:
-
-     import bacula
-
-  The script is called with one argument, typically called jcr. This
-  argument *must* be used to access each bacula function. The
-  format of the call is slightly different for reading Bacula
-  variable and for writing bacula variables. See below.
-
-  Bacula variables can be read with:
-
-     jcr.get("Variable-name")
-
-    where jcr is the argument passed to the function, and Variable-name
-    is on of the following:
-
-     JobId, Client, Pool, Storage, Catalog, MediaType, NumVols, DirName,
-       Level, Type, Job, JobName, JobStatus
-
-   Bacula varibles can be set using Python keyword arguments:
-
-      jcr.set(VolumeName="xyz")
-
-    The two currently implemented writable "variables" are:
-
-    VolumeName and JobReport
-
-   It is possible to submit a Bacula run command with the following:
-
-     jcr.run("run kernsave client=Matou storage=File")
-
-   this function returns the JobId of the job that was started. If
-   there is an error, the return value is zero.
-
-   Example:
-
-== File EndJob.py ===
-import bacula
-
-def EndJob(jcr):
-    jobid = jcr.get("JobId")
-    client = jcr.get("Client") 
-    jcr.set(JobReport="EndJob output: JobId=%d Client=%s.\n" % (jobid, client))
-    if (jobid < 5) :
-       startid = jcr.run("run kernsave")
-       print "Python started jobid=", startid
-
-    return 1

-== File NewVolume.py ===
-import bacula
-
-def NewVolume(jcr):
-    jobid = jcr.get("JobId")
-    print "JobId=", jobid
-    client = jcr.get("Client") 
-    print "Client=" + client
-    numvol = jcr.get("NumVols");
-    print "NumVols=", numvol
-    jcr.set(JobReport="New Volume set for Job.\n") 
-    jcr.set(VolumeName="TestA-001")
-    return 1
