If you *really* want to organize your settings like this, may I suggest:

---> myGlobals.py file:

# This does nothing more than create a placeholder
remote_device_enabled = None

---> my initialize.py file:

import myGlobals
def initialize():
    myGlobals.remote_device_enabled = True

---> my main.py file:

import myGlobals
import initialize
initialize.initialize()

def main():
    if myGlobals.remote_device_enabled:
        process_device()
