Yaml

Introduction
The Yaml Extension includes the YamlOutputHandler to render output in pure Yaml, as well as the YamlConfigHandler that allows applications to use Yaml configuration files as a drop-in replacement of the default ConfigParserConfigHandler.

Requirements
pyYaml
Cement 3.0.8+:
pip install cement[yaml]
Applications using Cement <3.0.8 should continue to include pyYaml in their dependencies.
Configuration
This extension does not support any application level configuration settings or meta options.
Usage
Config Handler
Example: Using Yaml Config Handler
myapp.py
from cement import App
​
class MyApp(App):
    class Meta:
        label = 'myapp'
        extensions = ['yaml']
        config_handler = 'yaml'
        config_file_suffix = '.yml'
~/.myapp.yml
---
myapp:
    foo: bar
Output Handler
In general, you likely would not set output_handler to yaml, but rather another type of output handler that displays readable output to the end-user (ex: Mustache, Jinja2, or Tabulate). However, Cement supports overriding handlers via command line options if the Handler.Meta.overridable option is set. For example, -o yaml will trigger the framework to use the yaml output handler, overriding the default set in App.Meta.output_handler.
See the documentation on Overriding Handlers via Command Line.
Example: Using Yaml Output Handler
cli
myapp.py
from cement import App, init_defaults
​
META = init_defaults('output.yaml')
META['output.yaml']['overridable'] = True
​
class MyApp(App):
    class Meta:
        label = 'myapp'
        extensions = ['yaml', 'mustache']
        meta_defaults = META
        output_handler = 'mustache'
        template_dir = './templates'
​
with MyApp() as app:
    app.run()
    data = {'foo': 'bar'}
    app.render(data, 'example.m')
templates/example.m
Foo: {{ foo }}
$ python myapp.py
Foo: bar
​
$ python myapp.py -o yaml
{foo: bar}
Tabulate
