@vaab Please advise.

This is how to "fix" it:

echo -e $(shyaml get-value system.trespass-warning < server.yml) | recode l1..utf8

[szepeviktor]

It is OK in Python 3.

Maybe the solution is here: http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAMLDocumentation#Python3support

[vaab]

Sorry for the last answer. It seems that this is indeed a bug. Here's the simplified test case:

cat <<EOF > /tmp/test.yml
noaccent: a
accent: à
EOF
cat /tmp/test.yml | shyaml get-value noaccent
cat /tmp/test.yml | shyaml get-value accent

The second should only display directly the string. Somehow, it doesn't detect this as a string. I'm on it.

Can you confirm that this fix is working for you (and do not break any of your scripts using shyaml) ? I'll wait your confirmation for releasing 0.4.1.

[szepeviktor]

Thank you for the quick response.
basestring fixed the output.

All the best!

[vaab]

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/shyaml 0.4.1 released. Many thanks for your feedback !

[szepeviktor]

Thank you for fixing it.
Please consider tagging, naming the release.

There could be a release checklist in the wiki.

[vaab]

I'll take a script rather than a checklist :-). But you are right, it's not systematized yet : the push of the tag to github was forgotten. Could you explain what you think of when talking about naming a release ?

[szepeviktor]

GitHub has two fields for every release: https://github.com/szepeviktor/shyaml/releases

[szepeviktor]

You can edit them on the tags page: https://github.com/0k/shyaml/tags or at release time.

Or use GitHub API https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/#create-a-release

[vaab]

I'll definitively go with the API, thanks for the link and the suggestion !. But, don't expect anything right now from my side before at least 2 weeks. Oh god, all this thread end about releases should not be there :)

I've added the API link to #27 in which all this info should be if I want to find it later. ;-)
