[ANN] PyYAML-3.01: YAML parser and emitter for Python

[Kirill Simonov]

PyYAML: YAML parser and emitter for Python
==========================================

I am pleased to announce the initial release of 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 persistance.

You may download PyYAML from http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAML.
