PyYAML is a YAML parser and emitter for 57Python. 58 59PyYAML features a complete YAML 1.1 parser, Unicode support, pickle support, 60capable extension API, and sensible error messages. PyYAML supports standard 61YAML tags and provides Python-specific tags that allow to represent an 62arbitrary Python object. 63 64PyYAML is applicable for a broad range of tasks from complex configuration 65files to object serialization and persistence. 66 67 68Example 69======= 70 71``` 72>>> import yaml 73 74>>> yaml.full_load(""" 75... name: PyYAML 76... description: YAML parser and emitter for Python 77... homepage: https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml 78... keywords: [YAML, serialization, configuration, persistence, pickle] 79...
