How can I test if my notebook is running on Google Colab?
I need this test as obtaining / unzipping my training data is different if running on my laptop or on Colab.

Try importing google.colab
try:
import google.colab
IN_COLAB = True
except:
IN_COLAB = False
Or just check if it's in sys.modules
import sys
IN_COLAB = 'google.colab' in sys.modules
In a %%bash
cell, use:
%%bash
[[ ! -e /colabtools ]] && exit # Continue only if running on Google Colab
# Do Colab-only stuff here
Or in Python equivalence
import os
if os.path.exists('/colabtools'):
# do stuff
