Re: Python wheel modules

Hello Mario,

I think this would be a valuable addition.

The developer of PyYAML is Kirill Simonov, who seems to have gone quiet
regarding the module in the last few years; although the PyYAML website
still lists this list as the preferred point of contact, I have not seen
him respond to messages about PyYAML here for a long time.  I believe the
module is no longer under active development.  You can try submitting a
pull request with your patch on BitBucket (https://bitbucket.org/xi/pyyaml)
which is where I believe the "official" development has moved, but it does
not seem any pull requests have been approved there since the repository
was established.  You could also try emailing him directly via the email
address given in the README in the BitBucket repository.

However, it seems there is also a fork of PyYAML, "ruamel.yaml" (
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ruamel.yaml on PyPI), which has been under
active development for the past year or so; you may be interested in
looking into that as well.  I only just discovered it myself (your question
prompted me to look) so I don't know much about it, but it looks like it
may already have Python wheel support, as well as support for YAML 1.2,
which as far as I know PyYAML lacks.

Regards,
Geoff
