5 PyYAML: YAML parser and emitter for Python
6 ==========================================
8 YAML is a data serialization format designed for human readability and
9 interaction with scripting languages.  PyYAML is a YAML parser and
10 emitter for Python.
12 PyYAML features a complete YAML 1.1 parser, Unicode support, pickle
13 support, capable extension API, and sensible error messages.  PyYAML
14 supports standard YAML tags and provides Python-specific tags that allow
15 to represent an arbitrary Python object.
17 PyYAML is applicable for a broad range of tasks from complex
18 configuration files to object serialization and persistance.
20 You may download PyYAML from http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAML.
