import yaml

data = dict(
    A = 'a',
    B = dict(
        C = 'c',
        D = 'd',
        E = 'e',
    )
)

with open('data.yml', 'w') as outfile:
    yaml.dump(data, outfile, default_flow_style=False)

The default_flow_style=False parameter is necessary to produce the format you want (flow style), otherwise for nested collections it produces block style:

A: a
B: {C: c, D: d, E: e}
