Getting Variables from a file

I have a text file of the form:

(var = integer)
dof = 8
elements = 10
mesh_dof = 300
.
.
.
.

I want to read the file from within Python and then create a variable in
python of the same name as what is in the text file, and holding the
assigned value.  Assuming I don't already know the names of the
varialbes; how do I do this?  I can do the file I/O, but how do I change
a character string into a variable name?  Thanks.
