Check out JSON, an alternative to XML for data interchange.  It is 
basically just python dictionaries and lists:

I think I would like this better than YAML or XML, and it looks like it 
already parses as valid Python code, except for the /* */ multiline 
comments (which boo supports).

It was mentioned in a story about JSON-RPC-Java:
