PyYAML-ft (Free-Threading)

PyYAML-ft is a fork of the popular PyYAML library, providing a full-featured YAML parser and emitter for Python. Its primary purpose is to add support for free-threading builds of CPython, specifically targeting Python 3.13 and newer, where the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL) is absent. This addresses thread-safety issues that are more easily triggered in free-threaded environments and ensures ABI compatibility. The library is currently at version 8.0.0 and maintains an active release cadence in sync with free-threading Python developments.
