Setting environment variables in Google Colab

I'm trying to use the Kaggle CLI API, and in order to do that, instead of using kaggle.json for authentication, I'm using environment variables to set the credentials.

!pip install --upgrade kaggle  !export KAGGLE_USERNAME=abcdefgh !export KAGGLE_KEY=abcdefgh  !export -p 

However, the printed list of env. variables doesn't contain the ones I set above.

declare -x CLICOLOR="1" declare -x CLOUDSDK_CONFIG="/content/.config" declare -x COLAB_GPU="1" declare -x CUDA_PKG_VERSION="9-2=9.2.148-1" declare -x CUDA_VERSION="9.2.148" declare -x CUDNN_VERSION="7.4.1.5" declare -x DATALAB_SETTINGS_OVERRIDES="{\"kernelManagerProxyPort\":6000,\"kernelManagerProxyHost\":\"172.28.0.3\",\"jupyterArgs\":[\"notebook\",\"-y\",\"--no-browser\",\"--log-level=DEBUG\",\"--debug\",\"--NotebookApp.allow_origin=\\\"*\\\"\",\"--NotebookApp.log_format=\\\"%(message)s\\\"\",\"--NotebookApp.disable_check_xsrf=True\",\"--NotebookApp.token=\",\"--Session.key=\\\"\\\"\",\"--Session.keyfile=\\\"\\\"\",\"--ContentsManager.untitled_directory=\\\"Untitled Folder\\\"\",\"--ContentsManager.untitled_file=\\\"Untitled File\\\"\",\"--ContentsManager.untitled_notebook=\\\"Untitled Notebook\\\"\",\"--KernelManager.autorestart=True\",\"--ip=\\\"172.28.0.2\\\"\"]}" declare -x DEBIAN_FRONTEND="noninteractive" declare -x ENV="/root/.bashrc" declare -x GIT_PAGER="cat" declare -x GLIBCPP_FORCE_NEW="1" declare -x GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW="1" declare -x HOME="/root" declare -x HOSTNAME="2ced809e9844" declare -x JPY_PARENT_PID="57" declare -x LANG="en_US.UTF-8" declare -x LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib64-nvidia" declare -x LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc.so.4" declare -x MPLBACKEND="module://ipykernel.pylab.backend_inline" declare -x NCCL_VERSION="2.3.7" declare -x NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES="compute,utility" declare -x NVIDIA_REQUIRE_CUDA="cuda>=9.2" declare -x NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="all" declare -x OLDPWD="/" declare -x PAGER="cat" declare -x PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/nvidia/bin:/usr/local/cuda/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/tools/node/bin:/tools/google-cloud-sdk/bin:/opt/bin" declare -x PWD="/content" declare -x PYTHONPATH="/env/python" declare -x SHELL="/bin/bash" declare -x SHLVL="2" declare -x TERM="xterm-color" declare -x TF_FORCE_GPU_ALLOW_GROWTH="true" declare -x _="/tools/node/bin/forever" declare -x __EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_DIRS="/usr/lib64-nvidia:/usr/share/glvnd/egl_vendor.d/"

If you like %magic, you can also use %env to make it a bit shorter.

%env KAGGLE_USERNAME=abcdefgh 

If the value is in a variable you can also use

%env KAGGLE_USERNAME=$username
