Description : Strict, typed YAML parser for Python

StrictYAML is a type-safe YAML parser that parses and validates a restricted
subset of the YAML specification.

Priorities:
- Beautiful API
- Refusing to parse the ugly, hard to read and insecure features of YAML like
the Norway problem.
- Strict validation of markup and straightforward type casting.
- Clear, readable exceptions with code snippets and line numbers.
- Acting as a near-drop in replacement for pyyaml, ruamel.yaml or poyo.
- Ability to read in YAML, make changes and write it out again with comments
preserved.
- Not speed, currently.

This is needed for devpi-server, and I plan on maintaining within DMPT (assuming
they accept me).
