+"""
+This file is a dirty hack to handle ruamel_yaml import problem
+In certain distributions, the module name is ruamel_yaml, while in others it's ruamel.yaml.
+As you can easily understand, that made us very sad :(
+A fallback import wasn't enough to solve it since the same imports were done in 3 different files,
+so we decided to create this file, which is a *very* partial accessor to ruamel_yaml.
