This is what I've done in the past...
Create a Config class in a module called config.py and instantiate it
class Config:
def __init__(self):
self.debug = True
# etc
config = Config()
Then where you want to use it you can then use
from config import config
if config.debug:
# blah
This has the advantage that you can define some methods on your config
object (eg save).
I don't know whether this is best practice but it works for me!
