To set a chain variable using python

Code:

chain.set_chain_vars({'variable_name': 'variable_value'})

To retrieve the variable using python:

Code:

chain.chain_vars.get('variable_name', '')

To retrieve the variable using calibre template language:

Code:

program:
    my_retrieved_variable = globals(variable_name)

If you want to set a chain variable without using python, you can use the Chain Variables action.
