GITLAB: Save script output in variable .gitlab-ci.yml

Question

script:
        - ./scripts/getfilepath.py --unstripped ${BUILD_NUM}

This part of gitlab-ci.yml file.
I want to save output of getfilepath.py in a variable and use it later.

I tried doing this:

script:
        - VER_PATH=`./scripts/getfilepath.py --unstripped ${BUILD_NUM}`

But this saves the output of any print statements inside the file.

Is there a way to just get the result of the return value from the script?

Here is the content of getfilepath.py

def get_pdf():
    html_file = os.path.join(dirname, 'html_doc.html')
    pdf_file = os.path.join(dirname, 'pdf_doc.pdf')
    fill_html(sys.argv[1])
    convert_to_pdf(html_file, pdf_file)
    cleanup()
    return pdf_file

I suppose you use shell executor with shell = bash in your runner.

Then, this should work :

script:
  - VER_PATH=$(./scripts/getfilepath.py --unstripped ${BUILD_NUM})
