Import text file as a module in Python

I want to import a plain text file, no matter the extension cause I want to use my own, as a module in python.

For example. I have the strings for my program in separated .py files, and, depending on what language is selected, I import one file or the other.

Everything works well with this, but, I want to make this file, apparently not readable for a common user, so, I want to give them a custom extension that any of the programs installed can't read. But, due that import only work with .py files, I want to know if there is a way to do this with other file types. Or if is it another way to do something like this.

Thank you.

maybe read file sources and use eval method?

You may use it as

def import_module(filename):
    with open(filename, 'r') as file:
        file_contents = file.read()
    module_object =  exec(file_contents)
    return module_object

But that variant are not secure!

And such question was in stackoverflow read it
