YAML is great; I was confused at first because I thought it was a "markup language" like HTML, but it's just a way to represent data structures.
It's not a programming language, though. If you want to write your system configuration in a programming language (Python, in this case :^), you might want to check out OpsMop (https://opsmop.io/), the latest thing by the guy who originally wrote Ansible. My impression is that it's still pretty bleeding-edge, but looks like it has promise.
