Is there any way to do this in Python?

Yes, using configparser:

import configparser
import os

configuracao = configparser.ConfigParser()
configuracao.read(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), "meuarquivo.ini"))
host = configuracao["database"]["host"]
password = configuracao["database"]["password"]
port = configuracao["database"]["port"]
