Numbers separated by colon parse unpredictably

[davetapley]

Repro here:

import yaml
good_yaml = '''
test:
  - 123:123
'''

good = yaml.safe_load(good_yaml)

print(good)

bad_yaml = '''
test:
  - 123:12
'''

bad = yaml.safe_load(bad_yaml)

print(bad)

Yields:

{'test': ['123:123']}
{'test': [7392]}

Hi @davetapley,
I am new here. I would like to look into this.
While the parsed value looks unpredictable, it looks like an intentional parsing logic to me here

What is the desired output?

it's correct behavior and part of YAML 1.1

I thought it'd be something like that, searched for a good five minutes and didn't find any of those issues, thanks and sorry!
