It is pretty common to have a configuration module that is imported wherever the configuration is needed. This is simple but it is essentially global state and shares some of the disadvantages of globals; in particular it couples all your code to the settings module and makes testing more difficult. The alternative is to pass a configuration object to whatever needs it. This eliminates the coupling but is more painful to implement.
