Creating a new YumBase instance is the safest bet,
but you may also try the following.

'del b.repos' throw all repos away, and reinits
b._repos to an empty, uninitialized repo storage.

'b.prerepoconf' instructs the getter for self.repos
to run getReposFromConfig() and do some initialization.

>>> import yum
>>> b = yum.YumBase()
...
>>> del b.repos 
>>> b.prerepoconf = yum._YumPreRepoConf()
...
