How to fill the variables of a config templates when calling the API via python

[#1]

Hello all, 

I am working on automating the configuration and the changes with netmri through external python scripting. 

I try top update the description for a particular interface based on an external csv file, I use the fllowing API: 

"api_request('config_templates/run', {
'id':template_id,'device_ids':device_id,
# 'template_variables':template_variables,
'template_variables': '$ifdesc==test'," 

I created a config template with the variable $ifdesc  and i populate it from the csv file when calling the API 

I'm unable to use the template_variables and the descritpion goes empty ones i execute the script. 

does someone has an idea please how to use this ? 

Thx a lot for your help 

Have a good day
