PyYAML
PyYAML is a YAML parser and emitter for Python. PyYAML features a complete YAML 1.1 parser, Unicode support, pickle support, capable extension API, and sensible error messages. PyYAML supports standard YAML tags and provides Python-specific tags that allow the representation of an arbitrary Python object. PyYAML is applicable for a broad range of tasks from complex configuration files to object serialization and persistence.
