Nobody's done the work? Note that on the PyPI page:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyYAML

the last release was almost a year ago. That said, 1.2 has been out
for awhile. There is an open ticket, nearly four years old:

https://bitbucket.org/xi/pyyaml/issues/23/support-yaml-12

Perhaps you can help move that forward.
