I was feeling a bit lazy while refactoring config.py to config.yml. Here's a humorous way to get around that issue :D

yml_to_variables.py

import ruamel.yaml

CONFIG_FILE_NAME = 'config.yml'

def load_config(globs):
    """Read file and set values. The parameter is intended to be globals()."""
    config_dict = yaml.load(open(CONFIG_FILE_NAME, 'r'))
    for key in config_dict:
        globs[key] = config_dict[key]

load_config(globals())
