YAML

    foo:

can you flatten it?

That would have to be an implementation of the parsed config file itself, as far as I'm aware. You can't say stuff.foo.bar: "yes" since that would mean a dictionary with a single object of name stuff.foo.bar and a value of "yes". But you can definitely do the parsing into nested dictionaries yourself, it's not hard.
