How can I import a variable from another script without executing it

Python docs have a section on IPC. In general it's more work because you have to manage a client/server interaction. https://docs.python.org/3/library/ipc.html

For external storage, maybe you could just write the information to disk. First attempt could be to just store it as JSON. If that's not performant enough, you could try a simple database like https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite...le-sqlite3.
