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]
