How do I read variables from another python file?

Also a tip if you want to save dictionary from @ichabod801 code.
You can use JSON.

import random
import json

testString = "abcd"

data = {}
for char in testString:
    data[char] = random.randint(2048, 4096)

with open("test_file.json", "w") as j_out:
    json.dump(data, j_out)

Now can read that JSON file from a other file.

import json

with open("test_file.json") as j:
    data = json.load(j)

Test:

>>> data
{'a': 3183, 'b': 2707, 'c': 2581, 'd': 2144}
>>> data.get('c', 'Not in record')
2581
>>> data.get('d', 'Not in record')
2144
>>> data.get('e', 'Not in record')
'Not in record'
