Try again with
module = imp.load_source("made_up_name", "a15800")
print module.myVar
If the file "a15800" is not in the current working directory, give the
complete path, e. g:
module = imp.load_source("made_up_name", "/path/to/a15800")
print module.myVar
The first arg serves as the module's name which is used for caching to speed
up repeated imports:
>>> import imp
>>> import sys
>>> "made_up_name" in sys.modules
False
>>> module = imp.load_source("made_up_name", "a15800")
>>> module.myVar
'hello'
>>> "made_up_name" in sys.modules
True
>>> module
<module 'made_up_name' from 'a15800c'>
