Azure Pipelines - export variable from Python script task to use in Powershell script task

Question

I have a variable defined in my Python script task in Azure pipelines.

variable = "True"

I want to use this variable in the next task which is a Powershell script task.

How can I achieve this using Azure YAML pipelines?

Thanks!

Have you looked at Task Output Variables already? e.g.

steps:
- task: PythonScript@0
  name: pythonTask
  inputs:
    scriptSource: 'inline'
    script: |
      someVar = "True"
      print("someVar = " + someVar)
      print("##vso[task.setvariable variable=someVar]" + someVar)

- task: PowerShell@2
  inputs:
    targetType: 'inline'
    script: |
      Write-Host "python var = $(someVar)"
