configparser will let you treat it like a dictionary:

config.txt

[DEFAULT]
USR = user_here
PWD = pass_here

auth.py:

import configparser
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read('./config.txt')
print(config['DEFAULT']['USR'])
print(config['DEFAULT']['PWD'])

yields:

user_here
pass_here

I got it by using;

auth.py

# Python Variables
USR = 'user_here'
PWD = 'pass_here'

test.py

#!/bin/python -B
from auth import *
print('Username:', USR)
print('Password:', PWD)
