I am on ubunty 64 with python 2.7 and using PyYAML-3.10
Below is my yaml file:
host:localhost
username:root
password:test
database:test
operations_database:operations
treeroot:
branch1:
name: Node 1
branch1-1:
name: Node 1-1
branch2:
name: Node 2
branch2-1:
name: Node 2-1
When I run the below code I get the below error. But if I remove the lines above the treeroot the code works:
from yaml import load, dump
try:
from yaml import CLoader as Loader, CDumper as Dumper
except ImportError:
from yaml import Loader, Dumper
f=open('amazon.yaml')
data = load(f, Loader=Loader)
