principia_materia.io_interface.yaml_dump module

principia_materia.io_interface.yaml_dump.yaml_dumps(data, prec=8)

Save data in a custom YAML format string.

The official yaml module cannot dump data in a consistent format, this function solves that problem by using a consistent format for various data types. Additionally, data types like numpy.ndarray can be safely saved into YAML nested list format without extra work, making saving YAML file much easier.

Parameters:

• data (dict) – The data to save.

• prec (int, optional, default to 8) – The decimal points to round the floating point numbers to.
