ruamel.yaml 0.17.39

ruamel.yaml is a YAML parser/emitter that supports roundtrip preservation of comments, seq/map flow style, and map key order

ruamel.yaml

ruamel.yaml is a YAML 1.2 loader/dumper package for Python.

version	0.17.39
updated	2023-10-19
documentation	http://yaml.readthedocs.io
repository	https://sourceforge.net/projects/ruamel-yaml
pypi	https://pypi.org/project/ruamel.yaml

Starting with 0.17.22 only Python 3.7+ is supported. The 0.17 series is also the last to support old PyYAML functions, replace it by creating a YAML() instance and use its .load() and .dump() methods. New(er) functionality is usually only available via the new API.

The 0.17.21 was the last one tested to be working on Python 3.5 and 3.6 (the latter was not tested, because tox/virtualenv stopped supporting that EOL version). The 0.16.13 release was the last that was tested to be working on Python 2.7.

Please adjust/pin your dependencies accordingly if necessary. (ruamel.yaml<0.18)

There are now two extra plug-in packages (ruamel.yaml.bytes and ruamel.yaml.string) for those not wanting to do the streaming to a io.BytesIO/StringIO buffer themselves.

If your package uses ruamel.yaml and is not listed on PyPI, drop me an email, preferably with some information on how you use the package (or a link to the repository) and I'll keep you informed when the status of the API is stable enough to make the transition.

ChangeLog

0.17.39 (2023-10-19):

• update README generation, no code changes

0.17.36 (2023-10-19):

• fixed issue 480, dumping of a loaded empty flow-style mapping with comment failed (Reported by Stéphane Brunner)
• fixed issue 482, caused by DEFAULT_MAPPING_TAG having changes to being a Tag() instance, not a string (reported by yan12125)
• updated documentation to use mkdocs

0.17.35 (2023-10-04):

• support for loading dataclasses with InitVar variables (some special coding was necessary to get the, unexecpected, default value in the corresponding instance attribute ( example of usage in this question)

0.17.34 (2023-10-03):

• Python 3.12 also loads C version when using typ='safe'
• initial support for loading invoking __post_init__() on dataclasses that have that method after loading a registered dataclass. (Originally asked on Stackoverflow by nyanpasu64 and as ticket by Patrick Lehmann)

@yaml.register_class
@dataclass
class ...

0.17.33 (2023-09-28):

• added flow_seq_start, flow_seq_end, flow_seq_separator, flow_map_start, flow_map_end, flow_map_separator class attributes to the Emitter class so flow style output can more easily be influenced (based on this answer on a StackOverflow question by Huw Walters).

0.17.32 (2023-06-17):

• fix issue with scanner getting stuck in infinite loop

0.17.31 (2023-05-31):

• added tag.setter on ScalarEvent and on Node, that takes either a Tag instance, or a str (reported by Sorin Sbarnea)

0.17.30 (2023-05-30):

• fix issue 467, caused by Tag instances not being hashable (reported by Douglas Raillard)

0.17.29 (2023-05-30):

• changed the internals of the tag property from a string to a class which allows for preservation of the original handle and suffix. This should result in better results using documents with %TAG directives, as well as preserving URI escapes in tag suffixes.

0.17.28 (2023-05-26):

• fix for issue 464: documents ending with document end marker without final newline fail to load (reported by Mariusz Rusiniak)

0.17.27 (2023-05-25):

• fix issue with inline mappings as value for merge keys (reported by Sirish on StackOverflow)
• fix for 468, error inserting after accessing merge attribute on CommentedMap (reported by Bastien gerard)
• fix for issue 461 pop + insert on same CommentedMap key throwing error (reported by John Thorvald Wodder II)

0.17.26 (2023-05-09):

• fix for error on edge cage for issue 459

0.17.25 (2023-05-09):

• fix for regression while dumping wrapped strings with too many backslashes removed (issue 459, reported by Lele Gaifax)

0.17.24 (2023-05-06):

• rewrite of CommentedMap.insert(). If you have a merge key in the YAML document for the mapping you insert to, the position value should be the one as you look at the YAML input. This fixes issue 453 where other keys of a merged in mapping would show up after an insert (reported by Alex Miller). It also fixes a call to .insert() resulting into the merge key to move to be the first key if it wasn't already and it is also now possible to insert a key before a merge key (even if the fist key in the mapping).
• fix (in the pure Python implementation including default) for issue 447. (reported by Jack Cherng, also brought up by brent on StackOverflow)

0.17.23 (2023-05-05):

• fix 458, error on plain scalars starting with word longer than width. (reported by Kyle Larose)
• fix for .update() no longer correctly handling keyword arguments (reported by John Lin on StackOverflow)
• fix issue 454: high Unicode (emojis) in quoted strings always escaped (reported by Michal Čihař based on a question on StackOverflow).
• fix issue with emitter conservatively inserting extra backslashes in wrapped quoted strings (reported by thebenman on StackOverflow)

0.17.22 (2023-05-02):

• fix issue 449 where the second exclamation marks got URL encoded (reported and fixing PR provided by John Stark)
• fix issue with indent != 2 and literal scalars with empty first line (reported by wrdis on StackOverflow)
• updated __repr__ of CommentedMap, now that Python's dict is ordered -> no more ordereddict(list-of-tuples)
• merge MR 4, handling OctalInt in YAML 1.1 (provided by Jacob Floyd)
• fix loading of !!float 42 (reported by Eric on Stack overflow)
• line numbers are now set on CommentedKeySeq and CommentedKeyMap (which are created if you have a sequence resp. mapping as the key in a mapping)
• plain scalars: put single words longer than width on a line of their own, instead of after the previous line (issue 427, reported by Antoine Cotten). Caveat: this currently results in a space ending the previous line.
• fix for folded scalar part of 421: comments after ">" on first line of folded scalars are now preserved (as were those in the same position on literal scalars). Issue reported by Jacob Floyd.
• added stacklevel to warnings
• typing changed from Py2 compatible comments to Py3, removed various Py2-isms

0.17.14 (2021-08-25):

• fix issue 396, inserting key/val in merged-in dictionary (reported by Bastien gerard)

0.17.4 (2021-04-07):

Use the methods on YAML(), which have been extended.
• fix for issue 376: indentation changes could put literal/folded scalar to start before the # column of a following comment. Effectively making the comment part of the scalar in the output. (reported by Bence Nagy)
