40 About PyYAML
41 ============
43 YAML is a data serialization format designed for human readability and
44 interaction with scripting languages.  PyYAML is a YAML parser and
45 emitter for Python.
47 PyYAML features a complete YAML 1.1 parser, Unicode support, pickle
48 support, capable extension API, and sensible error messages.  PyYAML
49 supports standard YAML tags and provides Python-specific tags that allow
50 to represent an arbitrary Python object.
52 PyYAML is applicable for a broad range of tasks from complex
53 configuration files to object serialization and persistance.
56 Example
57 =======
59 >>> import yaml
60 >>> print yaml.load("""
61 ... --- &A
62 ... direct self reference: *A
63 ... indirect self references: [*A, *A, *A]
64 ... """)
65 {'direct self reference': {...},
66 'indirect self references': [{...}, {...}, {...}]}
