YAML as config syntax?

[erazor83]

Hi,

I was wondering if it'd make sense to convert the project-config format to yaml.

Here are old and new formats compared to each other:

Legs:18:1024:1024:1024:1024:1024:1024:1024:1024:1024:1024:1024:1024:1024:1024:1024:1024:1024:1024
Pose=ik_neutral:512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512
Nuke=Lizard 3DOF,6,++++++++++++++++++,55,66,130,125,60,50,0,0,2,1,4,3,6,5,14,13,16,15,18,17,8,7,10,9,12,11

YAML:

name: Legs
count: 18
resolution: [1024,1024,1024,1024,1024,1024,1024,1024,1024,1024,1024,1024,1024,1024,1024,1024,1024,1024]
poses:
  ik_neutral: [512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512, 512]
Nuke: "Lizard 3DOF,6,++++++++++++++++++,55,66,130,125,60,50,0,0,2,1,4,3,6,5,14,13,16,15,18,17,8,7,10,9,12,11"

The first line could contain "#YAML" so pyPose would distinguish between old and YAML format.

What do you think?

Well, I've implemented this in erazor83@a1d7930 already tested and seems to work nicely. I also added the option to store the connection setup. When the user does not have pyYAML, the old syntax is used. Yaml is used when supported and first char of file is #.
