YAML (and other systems) allow the "T" separator to be replaced by a space
for increased readability. Since readability always comes first in YAML,
this is also the default.

[Yaml-core] Format of datetime dump

[Mateusz Loskot <mateusz@lo...>]

Hi,

Given this snippet:

yaml.dump({'date':datetime.datetime.now()})
"{date: !!timestamp '2012-10-19 01:32:41.674322'}\n"

Could anyone enlighten me why the ISO8601 format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD
is not used here, by default?
Is there any mean to make yaml.dump generating datetime in ISO8601?

Best regards,

Thanks, your explanation makes perfect sense to me, though I couldn't find
this reasoning explained in the YAML spec.

Do you know how to request PyYAML to emit dates in pure
ISO8601 format YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD ?

Alas, I do not - but I assume that should be possible...

Sorry,
