Quick Start

pip install zerodep          # install the CLI
zerodep add yaml retry       # copy modules into your project

from yaml import load, dump

data = load("name: Alice\nage: 30")
print(data)  # {'name': 'Alice', 'age': 30}

Each module is a self-contained single .py file — copy it into your project and import. No pip install needed at runtime.
