python-yaml

YAML parser and emitter for python: * a complete YAML 1.1 parser. In particular, Python-YAML can parse all examples from the specification. The parsing algorithm is simple enough to be a reference for YAML parser implementors. * Unicode support including UTF-8/UTF-16 input/output and \u escape sequences. * low-level event-based parser and emitter API (like SAX). * high-level API for serializing and deserializing native Python objects (like DOM or pickle). * support for all types from the YAML types repository. A simple extension API is provided. * both pure-Python and fast LibYAML-based parsers and emitters. * relatively sensible error messages.
