YAML Ain't Markup Language

Hi Seth, 

We're also intersted in the pure Yaml package. I'll set up an
environment for development. I'll also try to dig through all the
comments made so far and add this information to a wiki (I'll set up a
TRAC (edgewall.com) and an svn repository for it.

Obvisouly I won't just do this if you (seth) or anyone else has any
objections, but it seems like a good idea and we'd make a happy home for
it :-)

Great news.  I'll send a backtrace the next time I run into the
recusion problem; I think it is a nasty interaction with UserDict,
which is half-object half-builtin, and was released after PyYaml
was written.

OK the patches are attached.  They work against PyYaml-SHowell-0.32.

The load patch adds limited support for stripping/keeping with >-, |-, >+, |+

The stream support fixes a bug where PyYaml did not handle empty scalars:
ex.
---
s: |-
k: |-
  This is a test


I would love to help with this project in any way I can.  We use it in 
production and I would really like to stay with a pure python implementation, 
or a more pythonic one at least.  Thanks
