Appengine create and export yaml file

Question

Hi, I´m having trouble in creating a file and export to .yaml. I´m using Google App Engine with Python 2.5. Don´t understand the Yaml doc´s, it makes me confused.

What i want is to create a file and save it. It´s necessary to get entities from Models.

class SaveYAML(webapp.RequestHandler):
    def post(self):
        user = db.Query(models.User)
        user = user.filter('user =', users.get_current_user())
        users = user.fetch(limit = 1)

        for user in users:
            print(user.name, user.adress, user.phone, user.city)

        self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/yaml'
        self.response.headers['Content-Disposition'] = 'filename = myYaml.yaml' 

With this snippet i can view in a browser, when i click in a button the information retrieved from models. Maybe it´s because of print method, but it doesn´t create a file But when i upload my app to Google App Engine it doesn´t show the same info. It shows only 'Status 200 Ok'.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Do i have to import pyyaml library?

I changed some code to:

print(yaml.dump(user, sys.stdout))

and the result was this in a browser:

Changed the code, but the data is only presented by browser.

Do not use print, use self.response.out.write(...).

Yes, you will want to import yaml to output yaml, it will make it easier.

Try this:

import yaml

users = model.Users.all().fetch(10)
users = [{'user': {'name': user.name,
                   'address': user.address,
                   'phone': user.phone,
                   'city': user.city}}
          for user in users]

self.response.out.write(yaml.dump(users, default_flow_style=False))

You can check out the yaml docs for additional information on formatting the output.
