Agreed. The way I generally do these things is to simply gather the
config entries into a block of literal assignments at the top of the
program:
host = "ftp"
port = 21
proxy = "192.168.0.3:81"
user = "transfers"
password = "secret"

parameters, a parseable config file, an importable Python script
("from config import *" is an easy and simple way to make that one),
or whatever.
