14 Changes
15 =======
16
17 * Fixed a dot '.' character being recognized as !!float.
18 * Fixed exceptions produced by LibYAML bindings.
19 * 'yaml.load()' raises an exception if the input stream contains
20   more than one YAML document.
21 * Use setuptools for setup.py.  If you want to build optional LibYAML
22   bindings, run 'python setup.py --with-libyaml install'.  Building
23   LibYAML bindings no longer requires PyRex installed.
24 * Windows binary packages are built against the LibYAML stable branch.
25 * Added an attribute 'yaml.__version__' and a flag 'yaml.__libyaml__'.

49 About PyYAML
50 ============
51
52 YAML is a data serialization format designed for human readability and
53 interaction with scripting languages.  PyYAML is a YAML parser and
54 emitter for Python.
55
56 PyYAML features a complete YAML 1.1 parser, Unicode support, pickle
57 support, capable extension API, and sensible error messages.  PyYAML
58 supports standard YAML tags and provides Python-specific tags that allow
59 to represent an arbitrary Python object.
60
61 PyYAML is applicable for a broad range of tasks from complex
62 configuration files to object serialization and persistance.
