There's nothing magical about the name "custom.py". That filename
happens to be used in some examples, particularly as an argument to
Variables(), but the file (or files) to pass to that function can be any
name.

If this is what you meant (Variables)...

You don't need to mess with Environment to set this way.  Just do

Variables(files='default.py')

and anything that looks like a variable setting in 'default.py' will be
imported into the DefaultEnvironment (and if you create one, into
Environment) as construction variables.
