Hi, is there any way of saving dict to a file in yaml format? I'm using:
----------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python
import yaml
y = """
    root:
         - subject1:
            desc: msg1
         - subject2:
            desc: msg2
"""
settings=yaml.load(y)

settings['root'][0]['subject1']['desc'] = "new msg"
print settings

f = open("temp", "w")
f.write(str(settings))
----------------------------------------
but failing miserably, contents of the temp file:
{'root': [{'subject1': {'desc': 'new msg'}}, {'subject2': {'desc': 'msg2'}}]}

expected result:
    root:
         - subject1:
            desc: new msg
         - subject2:
            desc: msg2

Is there anything like yaml.save? Any help greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Tomas

Hi,

the following snippet will fail with PyYAML 3.08:

#!/usr/bin/env python2.5

import yaml

Dumper = yaml.Dumper

class FooTag(yaml.YAMLObject):

    yaml_dumper = Dumper

    yaml_tag = u'!foo'

    @classmethod
    def to_yaml(cls, dumper, foo):
        return dumper.represent_mapping(None, 
                                        {"foo": "bar"} )

print(yaml.dump(FooTag(), Dumper=Dumper))

The error message is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tag_not_specified.py", line 20, in <module>
    print(yaml.dump(FooTag(), Dumper=Dumper))
  File "(bogus file name)", line 175, in dump
  File "(bogus file name)", line 165, in dump_all
  File "yaml/representer.py", line 34, in represent
  File "yaml/serializer.py", line 54, in serialize

  File "yaml/emitter.py", line 238, in expect_node
  File "yaml/emitter.py", line 483, in process_tag
yaml.emitter.EmitterError: tag is not specified

(For some reason the file name in lines two and three of the trace is wrong, I've removed it here.)

The above does work when using libyaml (try substituting CDumper). For what it's worth it will also work when to_yaml emits a scalar instead of a mapping.

I've found that the following patch fixes the issue for me, but I don't understand the code well enough to know all implications of doing so.
