A full-featured YAML processing framework for Python
To install, type python setup.py install
.
By default, the setup.py
script checks whether LibYAML is installed and if so, 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 and emitter 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, type python setup.py test
.
