You can just use import statement to import it. In python, any files with a .py extension is a Module that you can import. You can try:

from file1 import token

print(token)

or

# Wildcard imports (from <module> import *) should be avoided,
# as they make it unclear which names are present in the namespace,
# confusing both readers and many automated tools. See comment below.
from file1 import *

print(token)

or

import file1

print(file1.token)

For more details, you can refer to The import system. Also there is a tutorial about Modules and Packages.

Assuming the files are in the same directory, i.e.

project
|-- file1.py
\-- file2.py

# file1.py
token = "asdsadkj"

# file2.py
from file1 import token

access = token
print(token)
