Further, goose relies upon argparse, so you have to be using python 2.7 anyway, unless you want to make the argparse package a dependency as well, so I think json just makes better sense.

I think YAML is simply less cumbersome than JSON, and of course JSON documents are a valid subset of YAML so users can choose to use JSON if they prefer.

I don't think that a non-stdlib dependency is really a problem. Installing goose is going to require you to deal with downloading dependencies (SqlAlchemy, MySQLdb, Psycopg2, etc).

I'd be cool with implementing a fallback that uses the json if yaml isn't available.
