You should probably read up on those a bit here: http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html But briefly, probably what you want to do is put some code in a file, say init.py: # init.py X = 3 Y = 5 # A bunch of other stuff And then in your main program, execute from init import * That will take all the module-scoped variables defined in init.py and place them in the namespace of the import statement (whcih could be global, the interactive interpreter, or otherwise) See also the 'global' statement as it relates to modifying global variables in an inner scope.
