There is no raw-file include (as in C's cpp) in the Python language.
(Of course, you could use #include and run cpp on the file
before passing it to Python.)

The Pythonic way to do this is "import".  Unlike cpp, the imported
file must be a valid python module in its own right, though it can be
pretty simplistic.  E.g., you could just define a list.
