The purpose of import is to build a module object, which implies
executing the module file but in a new context.
If you simply want to execute some code in a file, you can try
execfile("filename"):

In [243]: class A(object):
   .....:     def __init__(self):
   .....:         execfile("test.py")
   .....:

In [244]: a=A()

In [245]: a.a
Out[245]: 1

In [246]: open("test.py").read()
Out[246]: 'self.a = 1\n'

But do you really want to execute some arbitrary code or to initialize
values with some kind of configuration file?
