pypyr release v4.2.0

flat & recursive format, !jsonify, parsejson

Release Date: 2020-10-30T00:27:59Z

• python 3.9 compatibility officially confirmed & enforced in CI. All good. Woo! 🎉
• New Flat ff and Recursive rf formatting specifiers. #195
  • Check recursive vs flat format expressions for full documentation.
  • Maintain backwards compatibility for all current formatting functionality.
  • The get_formatted_string, get_formatted_iterable & get_processed_string methods on Context() are now all deprecated. Use get_formatted_value instead. All of the deprecated functions will keep on working as before, but will print a WARN to the output.
  • get_formatted and get_formatted_value remain the official best ways of getting formatted values.
• New !jsonify yaml special tag directive. This converts a context object to a json string. #197.
  • Check how to serialize or convert an object into json for details.
• New pypyr.steps.jsonparse step. Parse and deserialise a json string into Context. #199
  • Check how to parse a json string into an object for full documentation.
• Bare pypyr.steps.assert syntax. #196
  • Use the new simplified assert format.
• Minor api improvements unlikely to be of interest except for the very enthusiastic
  • Add new utils.asserts for extra flexibility with nested key validation.
  • PyStrings optimized. Not so that you’d notice, but still, it’ll be a smidge faster.
• Friendlier error messages when yaml/json context parsers reject documents that do NOT have a mapping at root.
• Update pypyr-aws release 1.2.0 to work with new ff/rf formatting functionality.
• pypyr-slack python 3.9 compatibility officially confirmed & included in CI. No release necessary.
