Yaml with a key called "on" parsed as True

[Puneeth-n]

Hi, I am rather facing a weird issue with pyyaml library where a yaml string is not being parsed properly. the on key is parsed as boolean True. Any idea what is happening?

PyYAML==6.0 also tried the latest 5.x release

>>> import yaml
>>> yaml.full_load('on: {}')
{True: {}}

Duplicate of many issues, eg, #613 - by design until PyYAML properly supports YAML 1.2 behavior.

(see also #376 (comment) for a workaround)

Thanks for the info. I changed the loader to baseloader and it did the trick.

on = true
off = false
