ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'yaml'

Hi, I just followed introduction to tf2 and onturtle_tf2_demo.launch I got this traceback:

I found out that changing #!/usr/bin/env python to #!/usr/bin/env python3 in turtle_tf2_listener.py and turtle_tf2_broadcaster.py fixed the thing. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 with Ros Noetic btw.

ROS 1 is end-of-life (EOL) as May 31st 2025, so I'm closing this.
