By this request you will unify the format of
settings.cfgand the headers. This is done by replacing ConfigParser and the former key:value parsing method by _YAML_. The latter, although more general and thus slower, will enable easier modifications and extensions in PyLL's future.It is as exact as the previously used formats.
Unluckily, it shares one of the former drawbacks, too: In case of an user forgetting to define headers and setting e.g., "Operation: XYZ" as first line, that one is wrongly regarded as header. A problem which cannot be solved in an other way than insisting on at least one header line, the title.
Settings.cfgis short and can easily be rewritten. Header's format already is a subset of YAML, therefore nothing needs to be changed.
