Did you intend to fork from https://github.com/yaml/pyyaml? I believe the
latest PyYAML is actually hosted on BitBucket:

https://bitbucket.org/xi/pyyaml/

Also, a better starting point than PyYAML may be this existing fork of the
library, ruamel.yaml:

https://bitbucket.org/ruamel/yaml

The fork makes several <http://yaml.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pyyaml.html>
changes
<http://yaml.readthedocs.io/en/latest/detail.html#round-trip-including-comments>
which may be relevant to you.
