Creating a module is just a matter of creating a standard python file

<--------start of myvar.py ----->
#! /bin/python    # you don't even really need a shebang for modules!
myVar = 66
<-------- end of myvar.py ------>

import myvar
print myvar.myVal


And so long as the location of the module is in your sys.path
(or in the PYHONPATH environment variable) python will find it.
