Easy pyyaml '!include' Tag
Easy pyymal file inclusion
YAML does not support file inclusion. If this feature is needed, it is necessary to write your own constructor to support a new tag like !include
.
Example YAML files
foo.yaml:
hello: !include bar.yaml
bar.yaml:
'world'
resulting yaml:
hello: 'world'
Example code
import yaml
def include_constructor(loader, node):
filename = node.value
include = yaml.load(open(filename, 'r'), Loader=yaml.SafeLoader)
return include
Loader = yaml.CLoader
Loader.add_constructor(u'!include', include_constructor)
yaml_data = yaml.load(open('foo.yaml', 'r'), Loader=yaml.CLoader)
KTHXBYE.
