How To Install python3-pretty-yaml on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-pretty-yaml on Kali Linux. python3-pretty-yaml is module to produce pretty and readable YAML-serialized data (Python 3)

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-pretty-yaml on Kali Linux.

What is python3-pretty-yaml

python3-pretty-yaml is:

YAML is generally nice and easy format to read if it was written by humans. PyYAML can a do fairly decent job of making stuff readable. pyaml tries to improve on that a bit, with the following tweaks:

  • Most human-friendly representation options in PyYAML get picked as defaults.
  • Does not dump “null” values, if possible, replacing these with just empty strings, which have the same meaning but reduce visual clutter and are easier to edit.
  • Dicts, sets, OrderedDicts, defaultdicts, namedtuples, etc are representable and get sorted on output (OrderedDicts and namedtuples keep their ordering), so that output would be as diff-friendly as possible, and not arbitrarily depend on Python internals.
  • It appears that at least recent PyYAML versions also do such sorting for Python dicts.
  • List items get indented, as they should be.
  • bytestrings that can’t be auto-converted to unicode raise error, as yaml has no “binary bytes” (i.e. unix strings) type.
  • Attempt is made to pick more readable string representation styles, depending on the value.
  • “force_embed” option to avoid having &id stuff scattered all over the output (which might be beneficial in some cases, hence the option).
  • “&id” anchors, if used, get labels from the keys they get attached to, not just use meaningless enumerators.
  • “string_val_style” option to only apply to strings that are values, not keys.
  • Has an option to add vertical spacing (empty lines) between keys on different depths, to make output much more seekable.
