loading configuration files that are themselves python

[Matthew Vernon]

Hi,

Is there a more idiomatic way of loading in a configuration file
that's python code than:

_temp=__import__(path,fromlist='cachestrs')
cachestrs=_temp.cachestrs

? I mean, that's pretty ugly...Plain "import" doesn't work in this
case because 'path' is a variable defined elsewhere

TIA,

Matthew
