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`.
