Installing PyYaml? with pip install under Jython doesn't work on a system that has a compiler. It checks for libyaml compatibility and then errors: "Compiling extensions is not supported on Jython"

Solution: Don't add ext_module for platform.system() == Java. See patch.

I'm not sure how to provide a small demonstration here.

In the "spread" module, (SpreadModule? on pypi), there is a type spread.MembershipMsg? which contains a "group_id", spread.MembershipMsg?.group_id. The group_id is an opaque type. I'm not sure how to generate one of these easily aside from bringing up a spread system, which seems like overkill.

In any case, attempting to serialize this opaque type with pyyaml results in a python core dump.

I recognize that pyyaml can't possibly know how to serialize or unserialize this sort of object. However, I think that attempting to do so should result in a suitable exception rather than an interpreter core dump.

I'll find another way around my problem. But chasing down this dump took me a couple of days. If it had been an exception, I'd have found the problem in minutes.

I have file which contains thousands of relatively short YAML documents, so the file is large (nearly a gigabyte) but the individual documents are not.

I can provide this file if necessary, but I'm not attaching it because it's so large (982M uncompressed, and still 45M when bzip2'ed).

I was getting this error:

Parser error: while parsing a block mapping at line 9259457, column 5
did not find expected key at line 9260367, column 5

This error occurs in both libyaml-0.1.2 and libyaml-0.1.3, but only on 32-bit machines (I tried Ubuntu 8.04 for x86-32, and Intel Mac OS X 10.5 with the compiler in 32-bit mode). If I parse the same file with libyaml on a 64-bit machine (e. g. Ubuntu 8.04 for x86-64), it parses successfully with no error.

I eventually tracked this problem down to an overflow in pointer arithmetic in yaml_parser_save_simple_key(), in yaml-0.1.3/src/scanner.c on line 1125. I changed this:

        simple_key.token_number = 
            parser->tokens_parsed + parser->tokens.tail - parser->tokens.head;

to this:

        simple_key.token_number = 
            parser->tokens_parsed + (parser->tokens.tail - parser->tokens.head);

which caused my file to be parsed successfully, even on 32-bit platforms. So, I would recommend adding this fix to libyaml-0.1.4. Thanks!
