Not sure. Probably it comes down to what you need depending on your tool
chain. But there are alternatives. Most prominent to my knowledge is
subunit [0]. Here is a comparison between the two [1].

One warning when you jump on the TAP train: Using the Python YAML
module PyYAML you will have to find out that TAP uses a YAML subset
called YAMLish [3]. It's not the same and pretty much defined by the
Perl implementation.
