While dumping/serializing data having long lines in input, pyyaml adds extra indentation with new line - which is annoying, how can we avoid this conversion in two lines / multiple lines ?
e.g.
In [1]: x = "-c /home/user/test/test2/test23/tet/2s/test1/stest/longdirectory1/directory2/ --optnion12 --verbose"
In [2]: import yaml
In [3]: print (yaml.dump([dict(ATTRIBUTES=[dict(CONFIG=x)])], default_flow_style=False))
WRONG ONE
- ATTRIBUTES:
- CONFIG: -c /home/user/test/test2/test23/tet/2s/test1/stest/longdirectory1/directory2/
--optnion12 --verbose
Which should be like
- ATTRIBUTES:
- CONFIG: -c /home/user/test/test2/test23/tet/2s/test1/stest/longdirectory1/directory2/ --optnion12 --verbose
Thanks @MathieuMarques for suggesting to look @ dump options and link provided, YAML documentation was not good enough to find it out.
Anyways solution is to specify
width
parameter fordump
function.i.e.
yaml.dump(data, width=1000)
A better approach suggested by @RandomCoder to use
yaml.dump(data, width=float("inf"))
for a permanent solution.
