Different behaviour for comment lines ending with "-" in YAML-Python2 and YAML-Python3

[NorHoy@…]

If YAML-Input is:

# ------------
'11':
    a: aa
    b: bb
# ------------
'22':
    c: cc
    d: dd
# ------------

In Python-2 (2.7.3 with PyYAML-3.10.win32-py2.7) I get the result:

{'11': {'a': 'aa', 'b': 'bb'}, '22': {'c': 'cc', 'd': 'dd'}}

In Python-3 (3.2.1 with PyYAML-3.10.win32-py3.2) the result is:

Traceback (most recent call last):

If I put another character than "-" at the end of the comment lines, then the Python3-YAML works well! Perhaps there is a new interpretation of the "-" in the Python3-YAML-Version (continuation sign?), but I've found nothing about that in the YAML documentation.

By the way ... YAML for Python is a great work - congratulations!
