Convert CloudFormation template (YAML) to Troposphere code

Question

I have a large sized CloudFormation template written in Yaml, I want to start using Troposphere instead. Is there any easy way to convert the CF template to Troposphere code?

I have noticed this script here https://github.com/cloudtools/troposphere/blob/master/troposphere/template_generator.py This creates a Troposphere python object, but I am not sure if its possible to output it Troposphere code.

You can do it by converting the CF YAML to JSON and running the https://github.com/cloudtools/troposphere/blob/master/scripts/cfn2py passing the JSON file in as an argument.
