Cast benedict to dict

[abashind]

I’m trying to write benedict object to yaml file, and there is one problem.
Benedict.to_yaml add “!!python/object/new:benedict.dicts.benedict\ndictitems:” into yaml file.
How can I cast benedict object to “simple” dictionary, which will look like initialy dictionary?
Or how can I write benedict to yaml without “!!python/object/new:benedict.dicts.benedict\ndictitems:” and keypath_separator:.\n ?

I would like to see in benedict object, member like "python_dict", in order to it would be possible make call like:

my_dict = benedict_object.python_dict
type(my_dict ) is dict
True

@abashind which python-benedict version are you using?

[abashind]

@fabiocaccamo I think, current - 0.13.0

I don't think you have 0.13.0 version, this issue should have already been fixed.
Please run pip install python-benedict==0.13.0 and check if your problem persists.

If you need to check an object type:

my_dict = benedict()
if isinstance(my_dict, dict):
   print('Yes, my benedict object is a dict!')

or is there something in your request that I'm not understanding?
If yes, could you explain it better?

Any update?
