yamlloader 0.5.0

Install

It is recommended to use the pip or anaconda version

$ pip install yamlloader

or

$ conda install yamlloader -c phynix

But does [your special case here] also work?

Tests are run continuously using randomly generated yaml files. Also, there are no fails to be expected.

Still, if you are concerned that your special case may breaks in the future, please add your own tests as test_ext_anyname.py under tests/ or let us know about your needs. This guarantees that no code will be added that breaks your case.

Loader usage

import yaml
import yamlloader

data = yaml.load(open('myfile.yml'), Loader=yamlloader.ordereddict.CLoader)  # CLoader is faster than Loader

Note: For using the safe loader (which takes standard YAML tags and does not construct arbitrary Python objects), replace yamlorderdictloader.CLoader by yamlorderedictloader.CSafeLoader.

Dumper usage

import yaml
import yamlloader
from collections import OrderedDict

data = OrderedDict([
    ('key1', 'val1'),
    ('key2', OrderedDict([('key21', 'val21'), ('key22', 'val22')]))
])
yaml.dump(data,
          open('myfile.yml', 'w'),
          Dumper=yamlloader.ordereddict.CDumper,
          default_flow_style=False)

Note: For using the safe dumper (which produce standard YAML tags and does not represent arbitrary Python objects), replace yamlorderdictloader.Dumper by yamlorderedictloader.SafeDumper.
