Installation
------------

**poyo** is available for download from `PyPI`_ via `pip`_::

    $ pip install poyo

.. _`PyPI`: https://pypi.python.org/pypi
.. _`pip`: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip/

**Poyo is 100% Python and does not require any additional libs.**

Usage
-----

Poyo comes with a neat function, named ``parse_string()``, to parse string data
into a Python dict.

.. code-block:: python

    import codecs

    import poyo

    with codecs.open('foobar.yml', encoding='utf-8') as ymlfile:
        config = poyo.parse_string(ymlfile.read())

Please note that Poyo only supports a limited set of YAML features.

See the example below to get a better idea of what Poyo is able to understand.

Example
-------

In (YAML):

.. code-block:: yaml

    default_context: # foobar
        greeting: こんにちは
        email: "raphael@hackebrot.de"
        docs: true
        gui: FALSE
        123: 456.789
        someint: 1000000
        foo: "hallo #welt" #Inline comment :)
    zZz: True


    # Block
    # Comment

    Hello World:
        null: This is madness   # yo
        gh: https://github.com/{0}.git
    "Yay #python": Cool!

Out (Python):

.. code-block:: python

    {
        u'default_context': {
            u'greeting': u'こんにちは',
            u'email': u'raphael@hackebrot.de',
            u'docs': True,
            u'gui': False,
            123: 456.789,
            u'someint': 1000000,
            u'foo': u'hallo #welt',
        },
        u'zZz': True,
        u'Hello World': {
            None: u'This is madness',
            u'gh': u'https://github.com/{0}.git',
        },
        u'Yay #python': u'Cool!'
    }

WHY?!
-----

Because a couple of `cookiecutter`_ users, including myself, ran into issues
when installing well-known YAML parsers for Python on various platforms and
Python versions.
