A lightweight YAML Parser for Python

**Please note that Poyo supports only a chosen subset of the YAML format.**

**It can only read but not write and is not compatible with JSON.**

Poyo does not allow deserialization of arbitrary Python objects. Supported
types are **str**, **bool**, **int**, **float**, **NoneType** as well as
**dict** and **list** values. Please see the examples below to get an idea of
what Poyo understands.

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 ``parse_string()`` function, to load utf-8 encoded string
data into a Python dict.

.. code-block:: python

    import codecs
    import logging

    from poyo import parse_string, PoyoException

    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

    with codecs.open('tests/foobar.yml', encoding='utf-8') as ymlfile:
        ymlstring = ymlfile.read()

    try:
        config = parse_string(ymlstring)
    except PoyoException as exc:
        logging.error(exc)
    else:
        logging.debug(config)

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
        # comment
        # allthethings
        'some:int': 1000000
        foo: "hallo #welt" #Inline comment :)
        trueish: Falseeeeeee
        relative-root: /          # web app root path (default: '')
        lektor: 0.0.0.0:5000      # local build
        doc_tools:
            # docs or didn't happen
            -    mkdocs
            - 'sphinx'

            - null
        # 今日は
    zZz: True
    NullValue: Null

    # Block
    # Comment

    Hello World:
        # See you at EuroPython
        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,
            u'lektor': '0.0.0.0:5000',
            u'relative-root': '/',
            123: 456.789,
            u'some:int': 1000000,
            u'foo': u'hallo #welt',
            u'trueish': u'Falseeeeeee',
            u'doc_tools': [u'mkdocs', u'sphinx', None],
        },
        u'zZz': True,
        u'NullValue': None,
        u'Hello World': {
            None: u'This is madness',
            u'gh': u'https://github.com/{0}.git',
        },
        u'Yay #python': u'Cool!'
    }

Logging
-------

Poyo follows the recommendations for `logging in a library`_, which means it
does **not** configure logging itself. Its root logger is named ``poyo`` and
the names of all its children loggers track the package/module hierarchy. Poyo
logs to a ``NullHandler`` and solely on ``DEBUG`` level.

If your application configures logging and allows debug messages to be shown,
you will see logging when using Poyo. The log messages indicate which parser
method is used for a given string as the parser deseralizes the config. You can
remove all logging from Poyo in your application by setting the log level of
the ``poyo`` logger to a value higher than ``DEBUG``.

**Disable Logging:**

.. code-block:: python

	import logging

	logging.getLogger('poyo').setLevel(logging.WARNING)

**Example Debug Logging Config:**

.. code-block:: python

    import logging
    from poyo import parse_string

    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

    CONFIG = """
    ---
    default_context: # foobar
        greeting: こんにちは
        gui: FALSE
        doc_tools:
            # docs or didn't happen
            -    mkdocs
            - 'sphinx'
        123: 456.789
    """

    logging.debug(parse_string(CONFIG))

**Example Debug Logging Messages:**

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.
