Calling python file in Variables section of robotframework 3.2

Question

replace "Variables config" with "Variables /path/CLOUD234/__init__.py" in robot framework .Cloud instance is defined at run time .In each run the value changes ,so I have created a python file initpath.py as follows with fun() keyword .It will return the required path .How can I call it in Variables section of robot framework ? Thank you in advance.

import socket
import re
import os

def fun():

    name = socket.gethostname()
    pattern = ".*CLOUD[0-9]*"
    hname = re.findall(pattern,name)
    cloud_instance = hname[0].replace("-","_")
    init_file = "/path/{}/__init__.py".format(cloud_instance)
    return init_file

Variables section do not execute any code. I suggest you run the python under testcase/suite up and use Set Test Variable to set the variable.

While variables section does not allow this but *** Settings *** section does with Variables does. See robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/…

Try following: Here, you are not required to use any variables/section to call py file.

Under *** Settings *** section add

Library initpath.py
