yaml_dict = yaml.load(yaml_sample,
Loader=yaml.FullLoader)The variable yaml_dict is now a dictionary object
containing your YAML file. Had this key/value been a
YAML list, it would have created a list instead, like this:

>>> type(yaml_dict)
<class 'dict'>>>> yaml_dict
{'interface': {'name': 'GigabitEthernet2',
'description': 'Wide
Area Network', 'enabled': True, 'ipv4':
{'address': [{'ip':
'192.168.0.2', 'netmask': '255.255.255.0'}]}}}As before, you can modify this object to your liking. For
example, you can change the interface name to
GigabitEtherenet1, as shown in Example 5-7.
