Doesn't Work At All For Lists / Arrays?

[JimLynchCodes]

yaml code:

name: "something"
posessions:
  - bar
  - Towel
  - Foo

python code:

from strictyaml import load, Map, Str, Int, Seq, YAMLError

with open("my-data.yaml", "r") as stream:
    try:
        data = load(stream)
        print(data)
    except YAMLError as error:
        print(error)

Executing this code incorrectly prints an error about the colon:

  File "data.yaml", line 2
    posessions:
                      ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

You are trying to run the YAML file with the python interpreter, not the python code.

Can you add code examples to the README please?

I don't hardly ever use python other than in google colab 😅

[JimLynchCodes]

@crdoconnor what is the python code way to do this?

[crdoconnor]

If that file is called "mycode.py" you run "python mycode.py".
