Parse yaml into a list in python -

i required use yaml project. have yaml file using populate list in python program interacts data.

my data looks this:

employees:     custid: 200     user: ash         - smith         - cox 

i need python code iterate on yaml file , populate list this:

list_of_employees = ['ash', 'smith' 'cox'] 

i know must open file , store data in variable, cannot figure out how enter each element separately in list. ideally use append function don't have determine 'user' size every time.

with open("employees.yaml", 'r') stream:     out = yaml.load(stream)     print out['employees']['user'] 

should give list of users.also note yaml missing 1 dash after user node
