This is more of a python question than a pygame question.

Two possibilities suggest themselves - assuming you have the commands in a
file called "textcommands.txt":

Possibility 1:
import shutil
shutil.copyfile("cmd.txt","textcommands.py")
import textcommands


Possibility 2 (see http://docs.python.org/ref/exec.html)
exec file("textcommands.txt").read()
