======================= Announcing PyYAML-5.2 ======================= A new release of PyYAML is now available: https://pypi.org/project/PyYAML/ This fixes some incompatibilities introduced in version 5.1 and also removes another possibility of loading arbitrary code. Changes ======= * Repair incompatibilities introduced with 5.1. The default Loader was changed, but several methods like add_constructor still used the old default https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml/pull/279 -- A more flexible fix for custom tag constructors https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml/pull/287 -- Change default loader for yaml.add_constructor https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml/pull/305 -- Change default loader for add_implicit_resolver, add_path_resolver * Make FullLoader safer by removing python/object/apply from the default FullLoader https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml/pull/347 -- Move constructor for object/apply to UnsafeConstructor * Fix bug introduced in 5.1 where quoting went wrong on systems with sys.maxunicode <= 0xffff https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml/pull/276 -- Fix logic for quoting special characters * Other PRs: https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml/pull/280 -- Update CHANGES for 5.1 Resources ========= PyYAML IRC Channel: #pyyaml on irc.freenode.net PyYAML homepage: https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml PyYAML documentation: http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAMLDocumentation Source and binary installers: https://pypi.org/project/PyYAML/ GitHub repository: https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml/ Bug tracking: https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml/issues YAML homepage: http://yaml.org/ YAML-core mailing list: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/yaml-core 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 =======
import yaml
yaml.full_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]
