Thanks for fixing this!

Shouldn't this be just "yaml" instead of "pyyaml"? check_python_module()
is going to "import" that argument and the Python module itself is just
called "yaml".
Hm, but then it's going to add "yaml" to %missing, which keys on
packages, not modules... Maybe add an optional argument to
check_python_module() so that it knows both the Python module name and
the package name?
As usual, I could be wrong...
