This patch was taken from #369 (comment), authored by Pekka Klärck <peke@iki.fi>. In short, Jython doesn't support lone surrogates, so importing yaml (and in particular, loading `reader.py`) caused a UnicodeDecodeError. This patch works around this through a clever use of `eval` to defer evaluation of the string containing the lone surrogates, only doing it on non-Jython platforms. This is only done in `lib/yaml/reader.py` and not `lib3/yaml/reader.py` because Jython does not support Python 3. With this patch, Jython's behavior with respect to Unicode code points over 0xFFFF becomes as it was before 0716ae2. It still does not pass all the unit tests on Jython (passes 1275, fails 3, errors on 1); all the failing tests are related to unicode. Still, this is better than simply crashing upon `import yaml`. With this patch, all tests continue to pass on Python 2 / Python 3.
