For what it's worth, Jeff Johnson has mentioned here that he has already
packaged PySyck, which could also be an option for getting Python to have a
decent YAML library that works.  We could package both, or just PySyck.  Doesn't
matter much to me.

Details are in comments here: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189281

One issue from the author of PyYaml 3000 today was that it does YAML 1.1, but
not 1.0 ... for interoperability this may point to PySyck making a bit more
sense for cases where multiple languages want to get at the YAML data (interop
with Ruby until it has a 1.1 parser, for instance).  Personally I am interested
in mainly using Yaml to store state in single applications so this doesn't
concern me a whole lot, but it could affect other folks quite a bit -- and I'd
like to make sure that use case is covered.  (Especially Python/Ruby
interoperability).

So, if there is a bugzilla on including PySyck, I'd just assume get behind that
one if it's easier.  A working YAML implementation is better than none at all,
and per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189281 we currently
don't have a working option.
