Or more typically, execfile it - this means you don't have to mess
with the path [0], no .pyc is generated, and you can put objects into
the global namespace for the config file to use, no import required.

[0] A practice which is becoming more and more common because people
don't structure their projects properly.  It's tough to point fingers,
because a number of big-time python libraries do it too.
