Overview of this book

Python is a very powerful, high-level, object-oriented programming language. It's known for its simplicity and huge community support. Python Programming Blueprints will help you build useful, real-world applications using Python. In this book, we will cover some of the most common tasks that Python developers face on a daily basis, including performance optimization and making web applications more secure. We will familiarize ourselves with the associated software stack and master asynchronous features in Python. We will build a weather application using command-line parsing. We will then move on to create a Spotify remote control where we'll use OAuth and the Spotify Web API. The next project will cover reactive extensions by teaching you how to cast votes on Twitter the Python way. We will also focus on web development by using the famous Django framework to create an online game store. We will then create a web-based messenger using the new Nameko microservice framework. We will cover topics like authenticating users and, storing messages in Redis. By the end of the book, you will have gained hands-on experience in coding with Python.

In this section, we are going to create the configuration file for our application; the configuration file will be in YAML format. If you would like to know more about YAML, you can check the site http://yaml.org/, where you will find examples, the specification, and also a list of libraries in different programming languages that can be used to manipulate YAML files.

For our application, we are going to use PyYAML, which will allow us to read and write YAML files in a very simple manner. Our configuration file is quite simple so we will not need to use any advanced features of the library, we just want to read the content and write, and the data that we are going to add is quite flat; we will not have any nested objects or lists of any kind.

Let's get the information that we obtained from Twitter when we created our app and add it to the configuration...
