[Tutor] 'source' in python or preloading variables

[John]

I have a file sitelocations:

STN_id[1]=AAA
STNlat[1]=58.800000
STNlon[1]=17.400000
STNelv[1]=20
STN_id[2]=BBB
STNlat[2]=42.450000
STNlon[2]=25.583333
STNelv[2]=2925

which in shell scripts I can simple 'source'. In Python I have to:
sitesFile=file('sitelocations','r')
sites=sitesFile.readlines()
i=0;
for l in sites:
        if i==0:
                STN_id.append(l.split('=')[1].strip('\n')); i+=1;
        elif i==1:
                STNlat.append(l.split('=')[1].strip('\n')); i+=1;
        elif i==2:
                STNlon.append(l.split('=')[1].strip('\n')); i+=1;
        else:
                STNelv.append(l.split('=')[1].strip('\n')); i=0;

Is there a better way??

Thanks!
