Describe the bug
pip installing a version of PyYAML which is not the version being used to run the workflow causes the workflow runner to crash on subsequent steps.

Additional context
I guess the right (?) way to work around this is to install everything in a virtual environment (as shown in the following commit), but:
- There's nothing in the README (that I can find, at least) that says this is necessary, and
- I'd argue that it's a bug (or at the very least, not proper encapsulation) if the user is able to cause the workflow runner to crash.
If I'm doing something wrong, I'd be happy to hear about it :) Thanks.
