Looked at this and found no bugs there, but I'm not sure there's
a strong need for such helper. I know yum's output is not meant
to be parsed, but "yum list/repolist" seems just fine.
AIUI, the main (only?) reason for this is the "yum groups list"
command, which
1. does not support installed/available options
2. does not parse easily (partially a result of 1)
3. has/had issues with "-d0"
I think resolving the above would improve yum UX, and remove
or reduce the need to wrap yumcommands.py at the same time.
