Thanks, but no no Python experience!

Bit of a flaw in the book then at only chapter 4!! If the code does not 
work as described.

It seems quite sensible what i'm trying to do, don't quite understand 
your YAML format, but basically how can I store variables, hashes etc in 
an external file then call them.

This book has been praised but has anyone really tried the code?
