Can I access python variables within a `%

Question

Is there a way to access variables in the current python kernel from within a %%bash or other %%script cell?

Perhaps as command line argume

Answer 1

To include python variables within bash commands run using the syntax ! you can use {} as follows:

In [1]: for i in range(3):
   ...:     !echo {i+1}
   ...:

While this is slightly different from what the OP asked, it is closely related and useful in performing a scripting task. This post has more great tips and examples of using shell command within IPython and Jupyter notebooks.
