+Development
+===========
+
+yamllint provides both a script and a Python module. The latter can be used to
+write your own linting tools.
+
+Basic example of running the linter from Python:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   import yamllint
+
+   yaml_config = yamllint.config.YamlLintConfig("extends: default")
+   for p in yamllint.linter.run(open("example.yaml", "r"), yaml_config):
+       print(p.desc, p.line, p.rule)
+
+.. automodule:: yamllint.linter
