Import global constants from Python in a Rust file

[JackAshwell11]

So if I have a Python file const.py (assuming this is a placeholder for more complicated data types):

VAR1 = 5
VAR2 = "Temp"

How can I access and use these variables in a Rust file?

You'd import the file (assuming it's accessible as a module) using PyModule::import. Then you can access its members as a &PyAny by getattr.

To get to a more concrete type, you can either extract (to a Rust native type) or downcast (to e.g. &PyString).
