yamlmod

This project allows you to import YAML files directly from Python code.

Installation

Install it using pip:

pip install yamlmod

To use it, simply add the following line of code to one of your files:

import yamlmod

This will install a global import hook that will check for files with a .yml extension.

Why?

This should be seen mostly as an example on how to customize Python's import system. However, it can be useful when developing Django or Flask applications that have an auto-reload feature. If your config is stored in a separate file, these frameworks won't detect changes. By using yamlmod, the config will simply look like a regular module to Django, and it will automatically reload the module for you when the file changes.
