I am trying to create a pipeline and have defined some variable in my gitlab job which will be used by python script to populate results.

Is there any way I can call/define those variable in my python script.

Is there any way I can call/define those variable in my python script.

For example:

```
.test-report:
extends: .test_report_setup
tags: *def_runners_tags
variables:
value-path: ${CI_PROJECT_DIR}/value
```
Now in my python script I want to call the variable 'value-path' to fetch or read files located in that directory.

```
file_path = '<value-path>' <---- To get the gitlab job variable here

file_in = open(file_path + "id.txt")
```

Please help me how I can get it in my python script as I am a bit stuck on it.
