Newbie: Sourcing a variable from an external file

[Winstonb]

Hello,

I'm new to Python (Jython) and would like to know how I can run a Python (Jython) script which uses a variable which is sourced from an external properties file.

A very simple eg could be as per below.....

Contents of external properties file:
var1 = server1

Contents of Python(Jython) script:
print var1

Output:
server1

Thanks in advance
Winston

If you name one file config.py with
var1 = "servername"

Then you can import it into your script

import config
print config.var1

Else you could use a 3rd party module called configobj and have ini style configs
