Suppose you have a module named 'MY', with MY.py as:
import os
_globals = globals()
for _name, _entry in os.environ.iteritems():
if _name.startswith('MY_'):
try:
_entry = int(_entry)
except ValueError:
try:
_entry = float(_entry)
except ValueError:
pass
_globals[_name[3 :]] = _entry
then, wherever your python scripts use MY_XYZ, you begin the script
with "import MY" and change every "MY_XYZ" to "MY.XYZ".
