I've used two options in the past. The one is as Kent suggested, by using a module that is imported by all others and share the values. This doesn't allow for users to change the values, without changing the code.
The second is to make use of a other file format. I used xml with all the info in and extracted the values from there. It can be done with any type of file, as long as you will know how to get the correct attributes for each value.

You can also use a python module as a shared config; just define whatever values you want in Python code and import the module where you need it.
