[Debian-pan-maintainers] Bug#1022088: xrstools: Uses deprecated yaml.load

[Gordon Ball]

Source: xrstools
Version: 0.15.0+git20210910+c147919d-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: gordon at chronitis.net

We hope to upgrade python3-yaml (aka pyyaml) to version 6 before the
freeze, per #1008262

Your package appears to use `yaml.load()` without specifying a `Loader=`
argument, which will become an error in pyyaml version 6. This should
have emitted a warning message since version 5.1 (from 2019).

In most cases this can be fixed by replacing `yaml.load` with
`yaml.safe_load`, unless the ability for yaml to create arbitrary python
objects is desirable.


xrstools uses yaml.load in several places:
- XRStools/ramanWidget/MainWindow.py
- XRStools/WIZARD/Wizard.py
- XRStools/WIZARD/methods/SuperResolution
- XRStools/WIZARD/methods/RIXS_spectra
- XRStools/WIZARD/methods/predictions
