What's the best way to use python-syntax config files (in python of course)?

My config file is really just a big python dict, but I have many config files to run different experiments and I want to 'import' a different one based on a command line option. Instinctively I want to do import ConfigFileName where ConfigFileName is a string with the config file's python package name in it... but that doesn't work.

Any ideas?
