PySyck

Python bindings for the Syck YAML parser and emitter

Overview

 YAML is a data serialization format designed for human readability and interaction with scripting languages.

 Syck is an extension for reading and writing YAML in scripting languages. Syck provides bindings to the  Python programming language, but they are somewhat limited and leak memory.

PySyck is aimed to update the current Python bindings for Syck. The new bindings provide a wrapper for the Syck emitter and give access to YAML representation graphs. Hopefully it will not leak memory as well.

PySyck may be used for various tasks, in particular, as a replacement of the module  pickle.

Requirements

PySyck requires Syck 0.55 or higher and Python 2.3 or higher. Python 2.2 is supported to some extent.
