The YAML Document from Hell

I second that. And if people need to deal with YAML in Python, they should be using ruamel.yaml, which is a far superior library on just about every level: https://pypi.org/project/ruamel.yaml/

Except that the author of ruamel.yaml:

refuses to use git [0]

refuses to take community submissions (except through Stack Overflow? Seems like a misuse of SO) [1]

and refuses to implement .dumps() [2].

He is difficult to work with, and any time I need to debug code that intimately deals with ruamel.yaml types, I wince.

Why would I care that the maintainer prefers Mercurial? The document you linked to doesn't say anything about them not taking community submissions: I think you need to scroll down further in the page. And it certainly doesn't say that you have to use SO to submit changes.
