My goal is to access a variable within Cobbler, $hostname for example,

os.system("/usr/local/sbin/dostuff.sh $hostname")
Cobbler passes the name of the system as the first argument to the
command. If your system name is the hostname, then in python you can
just use something simple like:
machine = sys.argv[1]
If your system name is not the hostname then you can query the
hostname of the system from Cobbler. Here is some python code I've
been using:
from cobbler import api
cobbler_api = api.BootAPI()
systems = cobbler_api.systems()
box = systems.find(sys.argv[1])
I'm sure there are other (and probably better) ways as well.

Right! I added that example here --
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/CobblerTriggers -- so other people
could find it when they were
reading the docs.
Thanks!
