The next generation YAML parser and emitter for Python.
python setup.py installBy default, the setup.py script checks whether LibYAML is installed and if so, builds and installs LibYAML bindings.
- Skip the check and force installation of LibYAML bindings:
python setup.py --with-libyaml install
- Disable the check and skip building and installing LibYAML bindings:
python setup.py --without-libyaml install
When LibYAML bindings are installed, you may use fast LibYAML-based parser and emitter as follows:
data = yaml.load(stream, Loader=yaml.CLoader)
yaml.dump(data, Dumper=yaml.CDumper)If you don't trust the input stream, you should use:
data = yaml.safe_load(stream)
PyYAML includes a comprehensive test suite. To run the tests, type python setup.py test.
