Parse key value pairs in a text file

Question

I am a newbie with Python and I search how to parse a .txt file. My .txt file is a namelist with computation informations like :

myfile.txt

Answer 1

I personally solved this by creating a .py file that just contains all the parameters as variables - then did:

include PARAMETERS.py

in the program modules that need the parameters.

It's a bit ugly, but VERY simple and easy to work with.
