This function in __init__.py has tx_return=[] just before the for loop
wherein tx_return is extended, but there is no such for loop where
tx_return is extended which just preceeds  tx_return=[]

Moreover the line number in which the error is encountered is in
function install() in __init__.py in second last line where the
function ends.
line:  tx_return.append(txmbr)

    def _at_groupinstall(self, pattern):
        " Do groupinstall via. leading @ on the cmd line, for install/update."
        assert pattern[0] == '@'
        group_string = pattern[1:]
        tx_return = []
        for group in self.comps.return_groups(group_string):
            try:
                txmbrs = self.selectGroup(group.groupid)
                tx_return.extend(txmbrs)
            except yum.Errors.GroupsError:
                self.logger.critical(_('Warning: Group %s does not
exist.'), group_string)
                continue
        return tx_return
