Confiig file
I like to use TOML files. I find the syntax to be more palatable than YAML, and you can load them quite easily with tomlkit. I believe there's a PEP to add a parser to the standard library too, since they're used for pyproject.toml now.

TOML: Tom's Obvious Minimal Language
Funny thing: TOML author/inventor calls it a mistake:
> TOML is a bad file format. It looks good at first glance, and for really really trivial things it is probably good. But once I started using it and the configuration schema became more complex, I found the syntax ugly and hard to read.
> I personally abandoned TOML and as such, I'm not planning on adding any new features

Comparison of Python TOML parser libraries
pytoml Abandoned by the creator for eminently sensible reasons (interesting read too... https://github.com/avakar/pytoml/issues/15) But let's not get into an argument over whether a shiny new fashion in config formats is in fact doing anything better than the previous fashions in config management...
