+PyYAML - The next generation YAML parser and emitter for Python.
+
+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)
+
+PyYAML includes a comprehensive test suite. To run the tests,
+type 'python setup.py test'.
+
+For more information, check the PyYAML homepage:
