It's not dead, just resting ;) The project is somewhat stalled mostly 
because it already satisfies my needs: to provide a robust and fast base 
for Python bindings.  The libyaml API was designed with language 
bindings in mind, if you want to use it directly, you will probably have 
to add some convenience layer.

My local working copy of libyaml contains quite a number of improvements 
including a new DOM-like API, but it's not yet complete, so it's not in 
the repository yet.  Considering my current schedule, it will probably 
take about two months for me to complete it and commit into the repository.

Alternatively, you may look into libsyck, another C library for parsing 
and emitting YAML.


Thanks,
Kirill
