Please look closely at the traceback. This is coming out of setuptools. Your installation of setuptools is broken and needs to be fixed. This is emphatically not a PyYAML bug. Cheers!

Thank you for that quick response, you're absolutely right and I feel like an idiot.

I feel like an idiot.

Please don't. It's easy for me to spot that because I've been doing this for so long. I fully understand that others aren't so experienced. I'm truly sorry if I made you feel like an idiot.
