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 persistance.


Example
=======
.... &A {
.... direct self reference: *A,
.... indirect self references: [*A, *A, *A]
.... }
.... """)
{'direct self reference': {...},
'indirect self references': [{...}, {...}, {...}]}
