Hi, The following code shows that "Micha=C5=82" is printed differently for
print(yaml.safe_dump(...)) and the direct print. Does anybody know how
to use yaml.safe_dump() so that "Micha=C5=82" will be printed as is.

~$ cat main.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
# vim: set noexpandtab tabstop=3D2 shiftwidth=3D2 softtabstop=3D-1 fileenco=
ding=3Dutf-8:

import yaml

foo =3D {
    u'first': u"Micha=C5=82",
    u'last': u"Seweryn",
}

print foo['first']

print(yaml.safe_dump(foo, default_flow_style=3DTrue).encode('utf-8'))
print(yaml.safe_dump(foo, default_flow_style=3DFalse).encode('utf-8'))
~$ ./main.py
Micha=C5=82
{first: "Micha\u0142", last: Seweryn}

first: "Micha\u0142"
last: Seweryn

--=20
