frontmatter 1.0.0

YAML Front Matter parser

A very simple Python package for parsing YAML Front Matter from a text file. Written for Python 3, but works for 2.

Usage

import frontmatter

# assuming 'testfile.md' exists
post = frontmatter.parse('testfile.md')

print(post['metadata']) # Dictionary
print(post['content'])  # String

The output would be:

{'foo': 'bar', 'num': 3, 'list': ['first', 'second', 'third']}

This is the actual post content
This is a second line

In the above example, the contents of testfile.md is:

---
foo: bar
num: 3
list:
- first
- second
- third
---

This is the actual post content
This is a second line
