I would love to use YAML. I really would. But for pip, we need a robust, easy to vendor Python implementation
conda has been using yaml forever (with pyyaml) , and whatever problem is has (and there are many), I don't think I've ever seen a single issue cause by yaml or pyyaml. Might be worth asking the conda devs. I think we're freaking out way too much about what *could* go wrong. Oh, and why not "JSON with comments and trailing commas" - it would be well defined and easy to implement. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
