Ticket #26 (closed defect: fixed)

yaml.load("a: n") raises exception (problem with bool)

Description

r59 claims to "Remove y/n from the boolean constants." However 'n|N' is not removed from the corresponding regexp. BTW: why was it removed? Looking at  http://yaml.org/type/bool.html one would expect it to be there.

Fixed in [226].

This issue was discussed on the mailing list and there was consensus that using one-character abbreviations is a bad idea and y/n should be removed from the list of boolean constants. As an example, check the !!merge spec:  http://yaml.org/type/merge.html, where x,y are used to specify a point. It's just that nobody bothered to update the spec :(
