Multiple Processors Using the Same Data?

[fsmMLK]

I tried using your module to manage yaml files. However there is no place that shows how to do that. I was able to create the processor but after that what? How do I access the elements? There is no examples in the documentation that shows how to proceed after creating the processor

I'm sorry the abundant available documentation doesn't meet your standard.

I've provided an extensive Wiki with a whole section entirely dedicated to interfacing with the library. I have provided complete reference implementations of the capabilities of this library by way of heavily documented command-line tools and their source files. The API is thoroughly documented in classic form within the library files themselves.

What more do you need?

I will check the documentation. I did not know some of the links you sent. Thanks

One question: say I have a processor X connected to yaml_data.

Is it possible to extract a node myNode=X.get_nodes('path/to/node')

And create another processor, starting from myNode? AFAIK myNode is a generator.

The yield from the generators is usually zero to many NodeCoords except when directly working against Collectors, in which case you'll get a list of NodeCoords.

On their own, NodeCoords are not suitable as input to Processors. It would however be technically possible -- even trivial -- to expose the node memvar as a read-only property and pass that to a new Processor. That said, I'd need more knowledge about your use-case before suggesting that course of action. You may find that a sole YAML Path may perform everything you need without the additional complexity of multiple Processors.

Since this has become an academic exploration rather than a bug report, I'm converting this thread to a discussion.
