+1 for TOML from me as well. I know Paul brought up the lack of
familiarity, but the format is simple and the Rust community is already
fully dependent on it so at worst Rust + us could always just ignore
future format versions if necessary.
If TOML is the chosen format we could ask how long until a 1.0 release
to know if we waited a month or so to implement we could make sure we're
compliant with that version.
I also checked pytoml at https://github.com/avakar/pytoml and it looks
like it's pretty stable; no changes in the past 5 months except to
support Python 3.5 and only 3 issues. And the format is simple enough
that if someone had to fork the code like Nathaniel suggested or we did
it from scratch it wouldn't be a huge burden.
I would prefer TOML over anything else mentioned so far, and taking over
pytoml would probably be beneficial, given the author's comments.
