@ptdel, I would look at the comments of the answer on StackOverflow. PyYAML development abruptly halted again and their release at the time of the comment broke many projects. While development seems to have resumed again, it appears that it comes in random bursts which is not always the best thing as a developer that is looking to have a pull request or other bugs resolved.

python3 -c 'import sys, yaml, json; json.dump(yaml.safe_load(sys.stdin), sys.stdout, indent=4)'

I usually want the pretty-print functionality.

If you only want pretty-print, and don't need JSON...

python3 -c 'import sys, yaml; yaml.dump(yaml.safe_load(sys.stdin), sys.stdout)'
