These problems are usually related to confusion between the version of
python that ships with Mac OS and the one that is installed by
Macports. For example, you might be installing yaml for one, and
running the other, which subsequently can't find it. So, I would
double-check to make sure you're installing yaml in the Macports
version of python 2.6 and running the same version. Try "sudo
python_select python26" if you haven't already, and try re-running
easy_install. Also, /opt/local/bin should appear in your path before
/usr/bin. Make sure you get /opt/local/bin/python when you run 'which
python' at a terminal.
