xml yml and dependency hell

[Rustom Mody]

yaml by its indent-orientation is quite pythonic.  In comparison xml
is cumbersome and laborious.

Strangely ruby supports yaml out of the box but python requires a
third party package PyYAML.

Now this may not seem like a big deal for us -- installing pyYAML
takes all of one minute -- but it may not be so to others as I
recently learned.

I conducted a python training for a corporate in which I showed among
other things that yaml is much neater than xml.  They agreed that it
was neat but were reluctant to consider it because it adds dependency
headaches at a later point with their customers.



So is it likely that yaml will make it to the standard python library
at some point??
