When you load a YAML file through pyyml, any expression wrapped in ${...} is evaluated as Python code and replaced with its result. You can also import packages at the top of your YAML file using a special # libs:[...] comment syntax, making those modules available to your expressions.\n\nThis is useful for configuration files that need computed values\u2014file paths, sums, environment-dependent settings\u2014without leaving YAML syntax. However, the package has received no maintenance since its initial release in April 2019 and depends on pyyaml, which has evolved significantly. The security model of executing arbitrary Python in YAML requires careful vetting of configuration sources.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned with no updates since April 2019, and its security model\u2014executing Python code embedded in YAML\u2014poses risks if configuration sources are untrusted.
