yamldict 1.2.1

yamldict

Yamldict is a library that allows accessing YAML content as a kind of a dictionary. Its primary purpose is to allow reading and writing YAML content with ease.

To achieve that it has the following features:

Features

1. Easy creation of complex structures from string or files:

   myyaml = yamldict.create("""
   - "item 1"
   - "item 2"
   """)

2. Not a dictionary. That means a property such as get is still accessible from the object and isn’t a method on a dictionary.

   >>> x = yamldict.YamlDict()
   >>> x.get = "x"
   >>> x
   YamlDict() {'get': 'x'}

3. Accessible via properties, or indexes:

   assert myyaml["item"] == myyaml.item

4. Handles chained missing properties without creating them unless asked:

   >>> myyaml = yamldict.YamlDict()
   >>> assert not myyaml.this.property.doesnt.exist
   >>> myyaml
   YamlDict() {}
   >>> myyaml.some.other.property = "3"
   >>> myyaml
   YamlDict() {'some': {'other': {'property': '3'}}}

5. It supports deep copying.

6. It’s integrated as a PyYaml serializer.

7. It supports pickle serialization.

8. Type support, so you don’t need to do anything in projects using mypy.
