## Description

## Typing stubs for PyYAML

This is a [type stub package](https://typing.python.org/en/latest/tutorials/external_libraries.html)
for the [`PyYAML`](https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml) package. It can be used by type checkers
to check code that uses `PyYAML`. This version of
`types-PyYAML` aims to provide accurate annotations for
`PyYAML==6.0.*`.

This package is part of the [typeshed project](https://github.com/python/typeshed).
All fixes for types and metadata should be contributed there.
See [the README](https://github.com/python/typeshed/blob/main/README.md)
for more details. The source for this package can be found in the
[`stubs/PyYAML`](https://github.com/python/typeshed/tree/main/stubs/PyYAML)
directory.

This package was tested with the following type checkers:
* [mypy](https://github.com/python/mypy/) 2.3.0
* [pyright](https://github.com/microsoft/pyright) 1.1.411

It was generated from typeshed commit
[`97e83f65cee88c0c978fa34668d9f59b8c362fce`](https://github.com/python/typeshed/commit/97e83f65cee88c0c978fa34668d9f59b8c362fce).

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Provides type hints and stub annotations for PyYAML, enabling static type checkers like mypy and pyright to validate code that uses the PyYAML library.

Verdict: A lightweight, actively maintained type stub package with no dependencies and permissive licensing. Suitable for any project using PyYAML that wants static type checking support with mypy or pyright. No known vulnerabilities.
