pyyaml looks like is outdated
Question:
As I searched for pypi, more specifically at this address:
pyyaml docs
I noticed that the pyaml package, previously quite used, is no longer receiving updates.
I was thinking of using it for a project, but if that’s really it, it makes more sense to look for other alternatives.
Could someone confirm this statement, and if possible, indicate a replacement for the package?
PS- I am using python 3.10
I searched a lot of sites, but all of them use pyyaml
Answers:
The yaml standard is not that frequently updated so PyYAML is still valid and supported by latest version of python 3.
Last update was of the YAML standard was: 1 October 2021 source: YAML wikipedia
and PyYAML was updated on Released: Oct 13, 2021 source PyYAML
So I say its safe to use. Many new releases is not always positive.
I am facing the same issues using load and SafeLoader from yaml package.
I am using python 3.10
from yaml import load, SafeLoader
throws this exception:
ImportError: cannot import name 'load' from partially initialized module 'yaml' (most likely due to a circular import)
NOTE – this is a python file, and is not a part from anything initialized before (framework or something related)
