Is there a way to use a yaml parser in Slicer?

I tried pip installing pyyaml using the instructions described on this page: [https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Python\_scripting#How\_to\_run\_pip\_.3F](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Python_scripting#How_to_run_pip_.3F) and it seems to have installed pyyaml correctly. However, the module doesn’t seem to load when I import yaml? I also just restarted Slicer, ran `import yaml` on the Python Interactor and got an error saying “No Module named yaml”?
