PyYAML
======
A full-featured YAML processing framework for Python
## Installation
To install, type `python setup.py install`.
By default, the `setup.py` script checks whether LibYAML is installed and if
so, builds and installs LibYAML bindings.
To skip the check and force installation of LibYAML bindings, use the option
`--with-libyaml`: `python setup.py --with-libyaml install`.
To disable the check and skip building and installing LibYAML bindings, use
`--without-libyaml`: `python setup.py --without-libyaml install`.
When LibYAML bindings are installed, you may use fast LibYAML-based parser and
emitter as follows:
>>> yaml.load(stream, Loader=yaml.CLoader)
>>> yaml.dump(data, Dumper=yaml.CDumper)
If you don't trust the input YAML stream, you should use:
>>> yaml.safe_load(stream)
## Testing
PyYAML includes a comprehensive test suite.
To run the tests, type `python setup.py test`.
