Description

Preferably near where the instructions are to run python make.py and/or in the make.py and script itself (other than the import line).

Python's error message did not make it particularly obvious that a required package was missing.

Research direction

Start by locating the instructions for running python make.py, then inspect make.py and the script itself around the PyYAML import. Document the required package near the command or in the script without relying on the import error; done means a user can identify the missing dependency before running the tool.
