salt.serializers.yamlex¶

YAMLEX is a format that allows for things like sls files to be more intuitive.

It's an extension of YAML that implements all the salt magic: - it implies omap for any dict like. - it implies that string like data are str, not unicode - ...

For example, the file states.sls has this contents:

foo:
  bar: 42
  baz: [1, 2, 3]

The file can be parsed into Python like this

from salt.serializers import yamlex

with open('state.sls', 'r') as stream:
    obj = yamlex.deserialize(stream)

Check that obj is an OrderedDict

from salt.utils.odict import OrderedDict

assert isinstance(obj, dict)
assert isinstance(obj, OrderedDict)

yamlex __repr__ and __str__ objects' methods render YAML understandable string. It means that they are template friendly.

print '{0}'.format(obj)

returns:

{foo: {bar: 42, baz: [1, 2, 3]}}

and they are still valid YAML:

from salt.serializers import yaml
yml_obj = yaml.deserialize(str(obj))
assert yml_obj == obj

yamlex implements also custom tags:

!aggregate

this tag allows structures aggregation.

For example:
placeholder: !aggregate foo
placeholder: !aggregate bar
placeholder: !aggregate baz
is rendered as
placeholder: [foo, bar, baz]

!reset

this tag flushes the computing value.

placeholder: {!aggregate foo: {foo: 42}}
placeholder: {!aggregate foo: {bar: null}}
!reset placeholder: {!aggregate foo: {baz: inga}}

is roughly equivalent to

placeholder: {!aggregate foo: {baz: inga}}

Document is defacto an aggregate mapping.

class salt.serializers.yamlex.Loader(stream)

Create a custom YAML loader that uses the custom constructor. This allows for the YAML loading defaults to be manipulated based on needs within salt to make things like sls file more intuitive.

class salt.serializers.yamlex.Map: Map aggregation.

class salt.serializers.yamlex.MappingNode(tag, value, start_mark=None, end_mark=None, flow_style=None)

id = 'mapping'

class salt.serializers.yamlex.OrderedDict

Dictionary that remembers insertion order

clear() → None. Remove all items from od.

copy() → a shallow copy of od

fromkeys(value=None): Create a new ordered dictionary with keys from iterable and values set to value.

items() → a set-like object providing a view on D's items

keys() → a set-like object providing a view on D's keys

move_to_end(key, last=True)

Move an existing element to the end (or beginning if last is false).

Raise KeyError if the element does not exist.

pop(k[, d]) → v, remove specified key and return the corresponding: value. If key is not found, d is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised.

popitem(last=True)

Remove and return a (key, value) pair from the dictionary.

Pairs are returned in LIFO order if last is true or FIFO order if false.

setdefault(key, default=None)

Insert key with a value of default if key is not in the dictionary.

Return the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default.

update([E, ]**F) → None. Update D from dict/iterable E and F.: If E is present and has a .keys() method, then does: for k in E: D[k] = E[k] If E is present and lacks a .keys() method, then does: for k, v in E: D[k] = v In either case, this is followed by: for k in F: D[k] = F[k]

values() → an object providing a view on D's values

class salt.serializers.yamlex.SLSMap

Ensures that dict str() and repr() are YAML friendly.

>>> mapping = OrderedDict([('a', 'b'), ('c', None)])
>>> print mapping
OrderedDict([('a', 'b'), ('c', None)])

>>> sls_map = SLSMap(mapping)
>>> print sls_map.__str__()
{a: b, c: null}

class salt.serializers.yamlex.SLSString

Ensures that str str() and repr() are YAML friendly.

>>> scalar = str('foo')
>>> print 'foo'
foo

>>> sls_scalar = SLSString(scalar)
>>> print sls_scalar
"foo"

exception salt.serializers.yamlex.ScannerError(context=None, context_mark=None, problem=None, problem_mark=None, note=None)

class salt.serializers.yamlex.Sequence(iterable=(), /): Sequence aggregation.

Merge obj_b into obj_a.

>>> aggregate('first', 'second', True) == ['first', 'second']
True

Deserialize any string of stream like object into a Python data structure.

Parameters:
