[Python-ideas] Python Object Notation (PyON)

[Bruce Leban]

YAML does support type tagging (with ! and !!) so I think a good approach to
consider here would be defining a subset of YAML specifically for python
compatibility.

Furthermore, is there any reason this wouldn't be best integrated with
pickle? That is, when I pickle an object, I could specify that it be in
"Pyon" format (or maybe "Pyckle") and when I unpickle, it automatically
accepts any format?
