I don't want to use a static string as notify_user because many users run jobs and they have different email addresses. So, I need to use it as a variable in the submit file to achieve that. And *"$(emailid)"* is the way to specify variable in the submit file. But somehow it's not working as expected.
`$(emailid)` asks HTCondor to substitute the value of the submit file command (or job ad attrbute) `emailid`. Your Python fragment does not set either of these. There is no way to refer to a Python variable from an HTCondor submit file; you must use a text substitution, like Cole suggested.
