Python Frontmatter
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
[Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.com/)-style YAML front matter offers a useful way to add arbitrary, structured metadata to text documents, regardless of type.
|
|
|
|
This is a small package to load and parse files (or just text) with YAML front matter.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Install:
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
pip install python-frontmatter
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
>>> import frontmatter
|
|
|
|
Load a post from a filename:
|
|
|
|
>>> post = frontmatter.load('tests/hello-world.markdown')
|
|
|
|
Or a file (or file-like object):
|
|
|
|
>>> with open('tests/hello-world.markdown') as f:
|
|
... post = frontmatter.load(f)
|
|
|
|
Or load from text:
|
|
|
|
>>> with open('tests/hello-world.markdown') as f:
|
|
... post = frontmatter.loads(f.read())
|
|
|
|
Access content:
|
|
|
|
>>> print(post.content)
|
|
Well, hello there, world.
|
|
|
|
# this works, too
|
|
>>> print(post)
|
|
Well, hello there, world.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use metadata (metadata gets proxied as post keys):
|
|
|
|
>>> print(post['title'])
|
|
Hello, world!
|
|
|
|
Metadata is a dictionary, with some handy proxies:
|
|
|
|
>>> sorted(post.keys())
|
|
['layout', 'title']
|
|
|
|
>>> from pprint import pprint
|
|
>>> post['excerpt'] = 'tl;dr'
|
|
>>> pprint(post.metadata)
|
|
{'excerpt': 'tl;dr', 'layout': 'post', 'title': 'Hello, world!'}
|
|
|
|
If you don't need the whole post object, just parse:
|
|
|
|
>>> with open('tests/hello-world.markdown') as f:
|
|
... metadata, content = frontmatter.parse(f.read())
|
|
>>> print(metadata['title'])
|
|
Hello, world!
|
|
|
|
Write back to plain text, too:
|
|
|
|
>>> print(frontmatter.dumps(post)) # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
|
|
---
|
|
excerpt: tl;dr
|
|
layout: post
|
|
title: Hello, world!
|
|
---
|
|
Well, hello there, world.
|
|
|
|
Or write to a file (or file-like object):
|
|
|
|
>>> from io import BytesIO
|
|
>>> f = BytesIO()
|
|
>>> frontmatter.dump(post, f)
|
|
>>> print(f.getvalue().decode('utf-8')) # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
|
|
---
|
|
excerpt: tl;dr
|
|
layout: post
|
|
title: Hello, world!
|
|
---
|
|
Well, hello there, world.
