title: Parse yaml into a list in python
body: <p>I am required to use YAML for a project. I have a YAML file which I am using to populate a list in a Python program which interacts with the data.</p>
  
  <p>My data looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Employees:
      custid: 200
      user: Ash
          - Smith
          - Cox
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need the python code to iterate over this YAML file and populate a list like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>list_of_Employees = ['Ash', 'Smith' 'Cox']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know I must open the file and then store the data in a variable, but I cannot figure out how to enter each element separately in a list. Ideally I would like to use the append function so I don't have to determine my 'user' size every time.</p>
