A full-featured YAML processing framework for Python

To install, typepython setup.py install.

By default, thesetup.py script checks whether LibYAML is installed and ifso, builds and installs LibYAML bindings.To skip the check and force installation of LibYAML bindings, use the option--with-libyaml:python setup.py --with-libyaml install.To disable the check and skip building and installing LibYAML bindings, use--without-libyaml:python setup.py --without-libyaml install.

When LibYAML bindings are installed, you may use fast LibYAML-based parser andemitter as follows:

>>> yaml.load(stream, Loader=yaml.CLoader)>>> yaml.dump(data, Dumper=yaml.CDumper)

If you don't trust the input YAML stream, you should use:

>>> yaml.safe_load(stream)

PyYAML includes a comprehensive test suite.To run the tests, typepython setup.py test.
