I assume you mean “lookup”, as import doesn’t really make much sense.

I’m currently using this with wofi, though I’ll eventually rewrite it as anyrun plugin, which provides a bit more control:

    for line in content:
        line = line.lstrip()
        # Ignore wildcards
        if line.startswith('Host ') and not '*' in line:
            for host in line.split()[1:]:
                hosts.append(host)
