How does yaml data look when converted in python data structure?

You are a python developer and want to know how does yaml data looks when converted to python to understand data in better way, here is some reference

PYTHON CODE


import yaml
from pprint import pprint

yaml_data_file = '/home/nansari/data.yaml'

read_data = open(yaml_data_file, 'r')
python_data = yaml.load(read_data)
pprint(python_data, width=8)

SAMPLE YAML DATA

Add below in file pointing to above yaml_data_file python variable

---

filedata:
    -
         name:
             - /home/nansari/puppet_test1
             - /home/nansari/puppet_test
         owner: daemon
         group: pulse
         mode: '0644'
         ensure: file
    -
         name:
             - /tmp/dir1
             - /var/tmp/dir2
         owner: mail
         group: daemon
         mode: '0750'
         ensure: directory

OUTPUT IN PYTHON DATA STRUCTURE



{'filedata': [{'ensure': 'file',
               'group': 'pulse',
               'mode': '0644',
               'name': ['/home/nansari/puppet_test1',
                        '/home/nansari/puppet_test'],
               'owner': 'daemon'},
              {'ensure': 'directory',
               'group': 'daemon',
               'mode': '0750',
               'name': ['/tmp/dir1',
                        '/var/tmp/dir2'],
               'owner': 'mail'}]}

Python programming language : quick and easy recipes

Something I used sometime and thought it should be shared with others. List only files from a directory - ignore all subdirectories import os destdir='/var/tmp/testdir' files = [ f for f in os.listdir(destdir) if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(destdir,f)) ] Print first colums of a file e.g. 3 colums of /proc/diskstats  DISKSTATS_FILE = '/proc/diskstats' diskstats_file = open(DISKSTATS_FILE, 'r') table = [line.rstrip().split() for line in diskstats_file.readlines()] newtable = [[line[0]]+[line[1]]+[line[2]] for line in table] newtable_3coulms = '' for i in newtable:      if i == newtable[0]:       newtable_3coulms = ' '.join(i)     else:       newtable_3coulms = newtable_3coulms +  '\n' + ' '.join(i) print newtable_3coulms diskstats_file.close()

Creating a package in Python

Make a package root directory $work_dir=/tmp mkdir $work_dir/my_py_pakage touch  $work_dir/my_py_pakage/__init__.py  my_py_pakage is a package; init file that makes the package a python module  If a path is not in sys.path, add it import sys sys.path.append('/tmp') Now you can import your package import mypackage type(mypackage) <class module> dir(mypackage) ['__builtins__',  '__cached__',  '__doc__',  '__file__',  '__loader__',  '__name__',  '__package__',  '__path__',  '__spec__'] See some information for you  module mypackage.__file__ mypackage.__path__ mypackage.__specs__ -packages are a special type of module -unlike normal module, packages can contain other modules and other packages -package has __path__ variable showing path from which package is loaded -sys.path is a list where moduled will be searched -a package is implemented by creating __init__...
