| Subject: [ANN] PyYAML-3.06: YAML parser and emitter for Python |
| |
| ======================== |
| Announcing PyYAML-3.06 |
| ======================== |
| |
| A new bug fix release of PyYAML is now available: |
| |
| http://pyyaml.org/wiki/PyYAML |
| |
| |
| Changes |
| ======= |
| |
| * Fixed a dot '.' character being recognized as !!float. |
| * Fixed exceptions produced by LibYAML bindings. |
| * 'yaml.load()' raises an exception if the input stream contains |
| more than one YAML document. |
| * Improved compatibility with Python 2.3. |
| * Use setuptools for setup.py. If you want to build optional LibYAML |
| bindings, run 'python setup.py --with-libyaml install'. Building |
| LibYAML bindings no longer requires PyRex installed. |
| * Windows binary packages are built against the LibYAML stable branch. |
| * Added an attribute 'yaml.__version__' and a flag 'yaml.__libyaml__'. |

| 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. |
| |
| |
