How can I refrence external lcoations in python notebook. 

I got the docs for referencing it in python : https://docs.databricks.com/en/sql/language-manual/sql-ref-external-locations.html.

But how to do it in python. I am not able to understand. Do we have to pass the adls:// path directly in the python notebook or is there any other way. 

One more question I..e - all our python notebooks are being handled by azure devops for multiple dev and prod envs.
So the storage container paths are different for dev and prod. 

Let's say if I have to pass the adls:// paths to reference the external locations then for referencing it in dev - I have to pass dev storage account and for prod I have to pass prod storage account. And we are using single azure devops with multiple parameters. So will best method be to create a var which handles storage account as per the envs.
Like if prod then -the paratmer has prod storage account path and if dev the dev staoge account path.
So I will be referencing it like this : adls://path/{stroage_container} ?
