Ideally I would like to do something like:

   m =    ; # a very large numpy array

   y = ""---\nx : '%s'\n"" % (m.dumps())
  

   z = yaml.load(y)

However, the yaml.load returns an exception: 
  'utf8 codec can't decode byte #x80: unexpected code byte in ""<string>"", position 9.

Since I have quoted the string, yaml should not be diving into it - correct?

Thanks.

Best,
   Lal
