For example

print(a)
!cd /content/drive/MyDrive/test

First and second line is python and third line is shell.

Now I want to use pytho variable in shell such as

a = "test"
print(a)
!cd /content/drive/MyDrive/{a}

Is it possible?

Yes. To use a variable inside a shell command with ! you can wrap it using {}

Your example is correct
