how to pass an argument to GDB python scripts when they're loaded

Question

I need to pass to a GDB python custom command an argument or environmental variable to change a path, but so that it would also have a default one; I.e. when I do source pythonfile.py I could set a path according to the argument.

This is basically what I want to do

PATH = "/some/path/" if not os.environ.get("CUSTOM_PATH") else os.environ.get("CUSTOM_PATH")
