> Hurray for yaml! A perfect fit for my need! And a swell tool! > Thanks a lot!
i warn you against yaml it looks nice, but the underlying format is imho too complex (just look at their spec.) you said you don't want python source because that's too complex for the users. i must say that yaml is not easier to use than python data structures. if you want userfriedly config files then ConfigParser is the way to go. if you want somthing really simple and fast then i'd recommend s- expressions of lisp also here is an identation based xml-like tree/hierarchical data structure syntax: http://www.scottsweeney.com/projects/slip/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
