Am trying to write a yaml file after reading data from a .cfg file. While dumping, the file get dumped with huge metadata that is not desired. When I wasn't using the cfg file, the yaml was not writing any extra tags but after using the configobj module it started dumping extra metadata.
test.cfg:-
[okd]
apiversion = v1
kind = template
[[metadata]]
name = xyz
Python script:-
from configobj import ConfigObj
import yaml
config = ConfigObj("test.cfg")
with open("test.yaml", "w") as f:
yaml.dump(config["okd"], f)
Desired output after dumping:-
apiversion : v1
kind : template
metadata:
name: xyz
yaml that is getting generated:-
&id002 !!python/object/new:configobj.Section
state: !!python/tuple
- apiversion: v1
kind: template
metadata: &id001 !!python/object/new:configobj.Section
