Set variable with output of command

[smutel]

Hello,

I would like to set a copier variable with the result of a command.
Is this solution the best (only ?) one : https://copier.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq/#how-can-i-alter-the-context-before-rendering-the-project

Thanks.

There's also https://pypi.org/project/jinja2-shell/.

I have this issue when I am trying to inject the python lib but I am installing copier with mise-en-place:

Can't inject 'jinja2_shell' into nonexistent Virtual Environment 'copier'. Be sure to install the package first with 'pipx install copier' before injecting into it.

Any idea to help me ?

Sorry, I don't know how mise-en-place works. The error message is pretty clear though.
