How to use the mappyfile.save function in mappyfile

def test_save():

    s = """MAP NAME "TEST" END"""
    d = mappyfile.loads(s)

    output_file = os.path.join(tempfile.mkdtemp(), 'test_mapfile.map')
    mappyfile.save(d, output_file)

    with open(output_file) as fp:
        d = mappyfile.load(fp)

    assert d["name"] == "TEST"

Example of formatting a single Mapfile with single quotes and tabs for indentation:

        mappyfile format C:/Temp/valid.map C:/Temp/valid_formatted.map --quote=\\' --indent=1 --spacer=\t

    Example of formatting a single Mapfile without expanding includes, but including comments:

        mappyfile format C:/Temp/valid.map C:/Temp/valid_formatted.map --no-expand --comments
    """

    quote = codecs.decode(quote, 'unicode_escape')  # ensure \t is handled as a tab
    spacer = codecs.decode(spacer, 'unicode_escape')  # ensure \t is handled as a tab
    newlinechar = codecs.decode(newlinechar, 'unicode_escape')  # ensure \n is handled as a newline

    d = mappyfile.open(input_mapfile, expand_includes=expand, include_comments=comments, include_position=True)
    mappyfile.save(d, output_mapfile, indent=indent, spacer=spacer, quote=quote, newlinechar=newlinechar)
    sys.exit(0)

def create_image(name, mapfile, output_folder, format="png"):

    out_map = os.path.join(output_folder, "%s.map" % name)
    mappyfile.save(mapfile, out_map)

    out_img = os.path.join(output_folder, name)

    return _create_image_from_map(out_map, out_img, format=format)
