======================= Announcing PyYAML-5.1b1 (First beta release) ======================= The first beta release of PyYAML-5.1 has been uploaded to pypi.org. The final release is expected to land in the next 2 weeks. Normally we would only announce the final release, but this one has been a long time coming and has major changes, so we want people to know about the release process early on. A new MAJOR RELEASE of PyYAML is now available: https://pypi.org/project/PyYAML/ This is the first major release of PyYAML under the new maintenance team. Among the many changes listed below, this release specifically addresses the arbitrary code execution issue raised by: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-18342 (See https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml/wiki/PyYAML-yaml.load(input)-Deprecation for complete details). 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.

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 =======
import yaml
yaml.load(""" ... name: PyYAML ... description: YAML parser and emitter for Python ... homepage: https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml ... keywords: [YAML, serialization, configuration, persistence, pickle] ... """) {'keywords': ['YAML', 'serialization', 'configuration', 'persistence', 'pickle'], 'homepage': 'https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml', 'description': 'YAML parser and emitter for Python', 'name': 'PyYAML'}
print yaml.dump(_) name: PyYAML homepage: https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml description: YAML parser and emitter for Python keywords: [YAML, serialization, configuration, persistence, pickle]
