I want to get values from python to put them in YAML:
import ruamel.yaml
file_name = 'input.yml'
from ruamel.yaml.util import load_yaml_guess_indent
config, ind, bsi = load_yaml_guess_indent(open(file_name))
instances = config['instances']
print instances
instances['hostname'] = raw_input('What is the host name>>')
instances['syslog'] = raw_input ('what is the Syslog ip address>>')
instances['prefix'] = raw_input('What is the first prefix>>')
instances['prefix'] = raw_input ('what is the second address>>')
input.yml
:
---
instances:
hostname: <name> # update with IP
syslog: <ip> # update with user name
interfaces:
- name: GigabitEthernet0/0
prefix: <first prefix>
- name: GigabitEthernet0/1
prefix: <second prefix>
host and syslog part is working but I could not make prefix working.

This:
instances['prefix'] = raw_input('What is the first prefix>>')
instances['prefix'] = raw_input ('what is the second address>>')
is not working (and if it would, you would update the same thing twice). You need to take into account that prefix
is a key on an element of sequence (Python list
) that is the value for the key interfaces
:
instances['interfaces'][0]['prefix'] = raw_input('What is the first prefix>>')
instances['interfaces'][1]['prefix'] = raw_input ('what is the second address>>')
