273	PyYAML doesn't dump python dictionary correctly if it only contains strings, numbers and/or booleans	freemind	xi	"
Here's a clear example of what's happening:
{{{
>>> mydata = {'person' : 'jesse',
...           'hobby' : 'python',
...           'employed' : True,
...           'family' : ['wife', 'toddler']}
>>> 
>>> print yaml.dump(mydata)
employed: true
family: [wife, toddler]
hobby: python
person: jesse

>>> mydata = {'person' : 'jesse',
...           'hobby' : 'python',
...           'employed' : True,
...           'family' : 'wife'}
>>> print yaml.dump(mydata)
{employed: true, family: wife, hobby: python, person: jesse}

}}}

So with a list (and probably any other object) it performs as expected, but with only strings, numbers and/or booleans it doesn't output the yaml document correctly.
