Module dialogueparsers

source code

Contains classes for parsing and validating Dialogues and other dialogue-related data.

To Do (Technomage 2010-11-13):

Exception handling + validation needs work. Currently YAML files are only crudely validated - the code assumes that the file contains valid dialogue data, and if that assumption is violated and causes the code to raise any TypeErrors, AttributeErrors or ValueErrors the code then raises a DialogueFormatError with the original (and mostly unhelpful) error message.
Support reading and writing unicode.
