Dear ROS Team,
I have tried to install ROS on my Mac after having installed Macports etc as explained, and after typing "rosinstall ~/ros "http://packages.ros.org/cgi-bin/gen_rosinstall.py?rosdistro=diamondback&variant=desktop-full&overlay=no" in the terminal, I get the error message: ImportError: No module named yaml.
Do you have a hint?
Found that the soln described here works. Note that I had to open a new window to get the rosinstall command to work after taking all these steps - apparently, the path still wasn't being rehashed properly.

It's ugly, and I don't like removing system files - but it worked.
I had the same problem on Ubuntu after upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 my solution:
sudo aptitude install python-setuptools
sudo aptitude install python-yaml
If you're following the diamondback installation directions, you'll have python setuptools installed. With that you can run easy_install. We found that if you run sudo easy_install PyYAML this will install the right version of yaml.
