This is a separate dependency.  On Ubuntu the package is python3-yaml.
This brings up an interesting point.
If the yaml dependency is not there, should we expect to gracefully
handle this in the python script, and
simply not allow yaml files?  I suppose we could error out if a yaml
file is supplied
and ask for the dependency to get installed.
Or is there something we should do earlier, maybe in the configure, to
warn or error about the missing
dependency?
