Passing variables as arguments to a py file in colab

Question

I want to pass variables to a py script in colab. outdir takes a folder and target takes a file as a as a parameter.

out_dir = os.path.join('outdir','my_out_dir')
target_img = os.path.join('main_folder','input','image.png')

This doesn't works:

!python projector.py --outdir="out_dir" --target="target_img" --network=blabla

This too:

!python projector.py --outdir='out_dir' --target='target_img' --network=blabla

@MichaelSzczesny Yes indeed. Actually answered my own question instead of deleting in case some other folks may search with colab terms. — colt.exe, Sep 02 '21 at 07:18

TIL, You gotta put a $ sign in front of parameters:

!python projector.py --outdir=$out_dir --target=$target_img --network=blabla
