How do I install the YAML package in Pycharm? I want to use it for a python 3.8 (or 3.9) project. When trying to install the package via the project settings I get the following error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement yaml

Alternatively I tried to search for any YAML package available via the command window by typing pip search yaml. Then I get the following error:

ERROR: XMLRPC request failed [code: -32500]

Any advice?

Thanks

  • PyPI's API is currently disabled, the search won't work, see status.python.org Commented Feb 4, 2021 at 11:59

  • The package is called "yaml" (no further extensions to the naming) It´s used in a example python project from github. Commented Feb 4, 2021 at 12:23

    That example looks wrong, I can't find that package: ERROR: No matching distribution found for yaml. Please share the link to the project. Commented Feb 4, 2021 at 12:32

pip install pyyaml

I think that this is what you are looking for: https://pypi.org/project/PyYAML/

It gets imported as import yaml
