As an interesting contrast,both Gentoo and Ubuntu seem to package it
as "pyyaml" :-)


Eerm.. and debian does too?

or at least.. it has a "source package" named "pyyaml".. but a "binary
package" named "python-yaml" ?!!!
http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/pyyaml

that's just insane. Stop the insanity please :-)

pyyaml is a well-known exception to the usual py_ convention
