how to write gsutil script if destination is variable

Question

I need to copy keras model from local to gcp storage bucket, my code is as below:

output_path = 'gs://bucket/folder/'
output_prefix = 'modelprefix_'+str(num)+'_'

model.save('_model.h5')
fn_model = output_path + output_prefix + '_model.h5'
!gsutil -m cp '_model.h5' fn_model

However, the above code was not able to move saved model to bucket storage, instead it just saved another file as name 'fn_model' locally.

How to copy or move local file to gcp bucket storage with a variable name?

Answer 1

If you want the value of the variable to be used in your shell command, I think you'll need to prefix it with a dollar sign, e.g. $fn_model.
