I was able to use command like cobbles system edit --name=test --template-files=/source/path=/dest/path to make use of it. I am not sure what do you need your python script for. It would be nice to have this variable available in WebUI - much easier to edit if there are few files to provide.
I used your patch that preserves file permission - did not test it on the real installation yet. Would you consider submitting it into cobbler?
