2. Technical Description:
    2.1. Details:

    YAML (rhymes with “camel”) is a human-friendly, cross language, 
    Unicode based data serialization language designed around the 
    common native data structures of agile programming languages.
    It is broadly useful for programming needs ranging from configuration
    files to Internet messaging to object persistence to data auditing.

    Its home is at http://www.yaml.org/ . You also can find the 
    specification of YAML at http://www.yaml.org/spec/

    PyYAML is a complete 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
    to represent an arbitrary Python object.

    PyYAML is applicable for a broad range of tasks from complex
    configuration files to object serialization and persistance.

    Python YAML is released under the MIT license.
