Hi,
I have question about encoding option of yaml.dump() of PyYAML.

I tried the following python script, and got '"\u30DD\u30B1\u30E2\u30F3"'
as a result, thought what I expect is utf8 characters, not escaped sequence.

    import yaml
    data = [u'\u30dd\u30b1\u30e2\u30f3']
    print yaml.dump(data, default_flow_style=False)
    print yaml.dump(data, default_flow_style=False, encoding='utf8')
    ## (result)
    ## - "\u30DD\u30B1\u30E2\u30F3"
    ## - "\u30DD\u30B1\u30E2\u30F3"
    ## (expected)
    ## - "\u30DD\u30B1\u30E2\u30F3"
    ## - XXXX  # japanese characters in utf8

Is it possible to get utf8 characters using yaml.dump() ?
