A scalar value cannot start with a % (percent sign) character, though the YAML specification only reserves that character at the beginning of a non-indented line for directives and tags (see  http://yaml.org/spec/current.html#id2523453 and  http://yaml.org/spec/current.html#id2524297 ). This character should be legal as the first character of a scalar value, e.g. for Python %s-style string substitution and templates.

When parsing the following: terminator : "\n\n"

The value of the right side scalar is returned as \n, rather than \n\n. Likewise, four newlines ("\n\n\n\n") is parsed as three ("\n\n\n").

What is the best way to transfer very large numpy arrays using PyYAML?

Ideally I would like to do something like:

m = ; # a very large numpy array

y = "---\nx : '%s'\n" % (m.dumps())

z = yaml.load(y)

However, the yaml.load returns an exception:

'utf8 codec can't decode byte #x80: unexpected code byte in "<string>", position 9.

Since I have quoted the string, yaml should not be diving into it - correct?

Thanks.

Best,

Lal
