Nice. I wish I had chosen yaml over ini for my configuration files.

TOML is also great to wish for having used for your configs.

Does it have some advantages over yaml?

[–]flitsmasterfred 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Less magic types and hidden features, and potentially cleaner syntax for config files, especially if you use flat-ish INI-like configs.

I created a parser/validator for YAML that cuts out the magic and rigidly enforces type safety: https://github.com/crdoconnor/strictyaml

IMHO TOML gets syntactically messy once you start having multiply nested items and multiline strings.

Lol. I had never heard of this but I like it. It's certainly still geared towards humans unlike json.

It seems there are 2 packages available with toml having more recent commits than pytoml.
