Please do not post text in pictures. Copy the Python code and paste it between lines with triple backticks like this:

````nohighlight
```
# Your Python code will be here.
```

````

What I noticed in the picture (although it is hard to work with):

- We cannot be completely sure what is `yaml`. You omitted the part of your code assigning this variable.
- You assign an empty list to `output` and you do nothing with the list. It stays empty, then you print the empty list at the line 15.
- Inside the `for` loop you repeatedly assign a single-element set of `None` (return value of `print()`) to `date_out`. This makes no sense. Maybe you wanted to just call the `print()`?

* * *

To make it easier to help you please show:

- how your input YAML file structure looks like (with a short example of a usable YAML file)
- what output you want to get (using the same example YAML)
- your Python code as a text
- what you get instead (using the same example)

Put every textual part between lines with triple backticks as I have shown above.
