Hi all,

in C++, typical YAML usage looks like

============ *snip* ============
YAML::Emitter out;
out << YAML::BeginSeq;
out << "eggs";
out << "bread";
out << "milk";
out << YAML::EndSeq;
============ *snap* ============

while the same thing in Python is (as far as I know)
============ *snip* ============
print yaml.emit([yaml.StreamStartEvent(),
                 yaml.DocumentStartEvent(),
                 yaml.SequenceStartEvent(anchor=None, tag=None, implicit=True),
                 yaml.ScalarEvent(anchor=None, tag=None,
implicit=(True, False), value=u'eggs'),
                 yaml.ScalarEvent(anchor=None, tag=None,
implicit=(True, False), value=u'bread'),
                 yaml.ScalarEvent(anchor=None, tag=None,
implicit=(True, False), value=u'milk'),
                 yaml.SequenceEndEvent()
               ])
============ *snap* ============

Is there any way to make this less verbose? (I don't even know why I
need all these options.)

Cheers,
Nico
