80	yaml.load doesn't work as i suspect it to according to the documentation	anonymous	xi	"quote from the documentation:

{{{
>>> class Monster(yaml.YAMLObject):
...     yaml_tag = u'!Monster'
...     def __init__(self, name, hp, ac, attacks):
...         self.name = name
...         self.hp = hp
...         self.ac = ac
...         self.attacks = attacks
...     def __repr__(self):
...         return ""%s(name=%r, hp=%r, ac=%r, attacks=%r)"" % (
...             self.__class__.__name__, self.name, self.hp, self.ac, self.attacks)

>>> yaml.load(""""""
... --- !Monster
... name: Cave spider
... hp: [2,6]    # 2d6
... ac: 16
... attacks: [BITE, HURT]
... """""")
}}}

the thing is, yaml.load ignores the {{{__init__}}} method of the Monster class. it doesn't even matter if it's there at all. in yaml.load you can specify aditional variables and they get added to the object. intended behaviour?"	defect	closed	normal	pyyaml	normal	wontfix
