| 5 | ======================== |
|---|
| 6 | Announcing PyYAML-3.06 |
|---|
| 7 | ======================== |
|---|

| 12 | |

| 13 | |
|---|
| 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 | * Improved compatibility with Python 2.3. |
|---|
| 22 | * Use setuptools for setup.py. If you want to build optional LibYAML |
|---|
| 23 | bindings, run 'python setup.py --with-libyaml install'. Building |
|---|
| 24 | LibYAML bindings no longer requires PyRex installed. |
|---|
| 25 | * Windows binary packages are built against the LibYAML stable branch. |
|---|
| 26 | * Added an attribute 'yaml.__version__' and a flag 'yaml.__libyaml__'. |

| 50 | About PyYAML |
|---|
| 51 | ============ |
|---|
| 52 | |
|---|
| 53 | YAML is a data serialization format designed for human readability and |
|---|
| 54 | interaction with scripting languages. PyYAML is a YAML parser and |
|---|
| 55 | emitter for Python. |
|---|
| 56 | |
|---|
| 57 | PyYAML features a complete YAML 1.1 parser, Unicode support, pickle |
|---|
| 58 | support, capable extension API, and sensible error messages. PyYAML |
|---|
| 59 | supports standard YAML tags and provides Python-specific tags that allow |
|---|
| 60 | to represent an arbitrary Python object. |
|---|
| 61 | |
|---|
| 62 | PyYAML is applicable for a broad range of tasks from complex |
|---|
| 63 | configuration files to object serialization and persistance. |
|---|
| 64 | |
|---|
| 65 | |
|---|
