ruamel.yaml 0.17.17

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:	0.17.17
updated:	2021-10-31
documentation:	http://yaml.readthedocs.io
repository:	https://sourceforge.net/projects/ruamel-yaml/
pypi:	https://pypi.org/project/ruamel.yaml/

The 0.16.13 release was the last that was tested to be working on Python 2.7. The 0.17 series will still be tested on Python 3.5, but the 0.18 will not. The 0.17 series will also stop support for the old PyYAML functions, so a `YAML()` instance will need to be created.

The 0.17 series will also see changes in how comments are attached during roundtrip. This will result in backwards incompatibilities on the `.ca` data and it might even be necessary for documented methods that handle comments.

Please adjust your dependencies accordingly if necessary. (`ruamel.yaml<0.17`)

Starting with version 0.15.0 the way YAML files are loaded and dumped has been changing, see the API doc for details. Currently existing functionality will throw a warning before being changed/removed. For production systems already using a pre 0.16 version, you should pin the version being used with ``ruamel.yaml<=0.15`` if you cannot fully test upgrading to a newer version. For new usage pin to the minor version tested ( ruamel.yaml<=0.17) or even to the exact version used.

New functionality is usually only available via the new API, so make sure you use it and stop using the ruamel.yaml.safe_load(), ruamel.yaml.round_trip_load() and ruamel.yaml.load() functions (and their ….dump() counterparts).

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.
