This is the core library that implements functionality of https://github.com/bkabrda/anymarkup. You can install this if you only want to use a subset of anymarkup parsers. For example, you can do this: $ pip install anymarkup-core PyYAML $ python -c "import anymarkup_core; print(anymarkup_core.parse('foo: bar'))" ... and you don't need xmltodict installed, for example. You can use anymarkup- core in the same way you use anymarkup, except you have to import from anymarkup_core, obviously.
