libyaml

[gregdelozier]

Hi,

I'm using (or trying to use) mrjob, which is a Python package.

It in turn uses (or tries to use) libyaml.

Normally I install this with apt-get, but not here.

I'm a paid subscriber, for what it's worth.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Not sure that you need libyaml, and I think what you are seeing when installing mrjob package may just be bad messaging?

Looking here: http://yaml.org/ -- LibYAML is a C library implementation of a YAML 1.1 parser and emitter and as installing mrjob also installs PyYaml that is the python package of YAML you don't actually need libyaml

I may be wrong (and probably am!)

If though you are sure that a box part is required, have you seen you can now create your own and then send us a PR (will get implemented a lot quicker that way). See https://codio.com/docs/boxes/installsw/parts-coding/
