I'm trying to substitute environment variables list of yaml object in python. The format of yaml file being:

environment:
- blocHost=bloc:8000
- EXT_STORAGE_S3_BUCKET=${EXT_STORAGE_S3_BUCKET}
- EXT_STORAGE_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=${EXT_STORAGE_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID}

The env vars loaded by yaml.load() is a list of strings, which is inconvenient to manipulate. Is there any solution to load this list as a dictionary? Thanks!

The YAML should be written as a dictionary in the first place. – mkrieger1 Jul 12 '20 at 01:25
You need to split the strings at `=` obviously, not `: ` as in the linked question. – mkrieger1 Jul 12 '20 at 01:27
Yes I think I might need to do some text manipulation to work this around. Thanks a lot! – Yinuo Du Jul 12 '20 at 01:32
