| |
| ======================= |
| Announcing PyYAML-4.2 |
| ======================= |
| |
| A new MAJOR RELEASE of PyYAML is now available: |
| https://pypi.org/project/PyYAML/ |
| |
| This is the first release of PyYAML under a new maintenance team. In August |
| 2016, maintenance of PyYAML and LibYAML was turned over from the original |
| author, Kirill Simonov, to Ian Cordasco and Ingy döt Net. |
| |
| The canonical source repo moved: |
| |
| from: https://bitbucket.org/xi/pyyaml/ |
| to: https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml |
| |
| The PyYAML project is now maintained by the YAML and Python communities. |
| Planning happens on the #yaml-dev, #pyyaml and #libyaml IRC channels on |
| irc.freenode.net. |
| |

| About PyYAML |
| ============ |
| |
| YAML is a data serialization format designed for human readability and |
| interaction with scripting languages. PyYAML is a YAML parser and emitter for |
| Python. |
| |
| PyYAML features a complete YAML 1.1 parser, Unicode support, pickle support, |
| capable extension API, and sensible error messages. PyYAML supports standard |
| YAML tags and provides Python-specific tags that allow to represent an |
| arbitrary Python object. |
| |
| PyYAML is applicable for a broad range of tasks from complex configuration |
| files to object serialization and persistence. |
| |
| |
| Example |
