Python的yaml配置文件的使用

1. 创建yaml文件，将配置的参数写进去，格式如下

# model options
gen:
  dim: 64                     # number of filters in the bottommost layer
  activ: relu                 # activation function [relu/lrelu/prelu/selu/tanh]
  n_downsample: 2             # number of downsampling layers in content encoder
  n_res: 4                    # number of residual blocks in content encoder/decoder
  pad_type: reflect           # padding type [zero/reflect]
dis:
  dim: 64                     # number of filters in the bottommost layer
  norm: none                  # normalization layer [none/bn/in/ln]

  num_scales: 3               # number of scales
  pad_type: reflect           # padding type [zero/reflect]

# data options
input_dim_a: 3                              # number of image channels [1/3]
input_dim_b: 3                              # number of image channels [1/3]
num_workers: 8                              # number of data loading threads
new_size: 256                             # first resize the shortest image side to this size
crop_image_height: 256                      # random crop image of this height
crop_image_width: 256                       # random crop image of this width

data_root: ./datasets/lol/     # dataset folder location

wsy: [1,2,3,4,5]

2. 加载配置文件，使用其参数

def get_config(config):
    import yaml
    with open(config, 'r') as stream:
        return yaml.load(stream, Loader=yaml.FullLoader)
    
config_path = 'filename.yaml'
config = get_config(config_path)

由此加载而来的 config 的数据结构为字典。通过键值对即可获取参数的值。值得一提的是，这种读取方式会保留配置文件参数的数据类型，比如

type(config['max_iter'])
><class 'int'>
type(config['gen'])
><class 'dict'>
>type(config['wsy'])
><class 'list'>

与 .ini 配置文件在使用时会把所有参数当做字符串读出相比，这种保留格式的风格显然是好的。
