My application has a configuration file where lots of variables are
set. (The configuration file is python source, so there is no
home-brewed parsing involved.) The configuration file is starting to
get quite large and unwieldy, so for this reason I would like to split
it in several files.

I know I could do:
from configA import *
from configB import *

But I felt that the import statemant was 'more' than I wanted. Maybe I
am just pedantic.
