Question

How can I parse a YAML file in Python?

Answer 1

First install pyyaml using pip3.

Then import yaml module and load the file into a dictionary called 'my_dict':

import yaml
with open('filename.yaml') as f:
    my_dict = yaml.safe_load(f)

That's all you need. Now the entire yaml file is in 'my_dict' dictionary.
