Hi David

Look very nice, i have started another project called 
'system-config-repo' doing the same thing, manage yum repo.
It is also written in Python, you can check the code here.

http://yumex.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/yumex/trunk/system-config-repo/

Maybe we should join forces and merge our projects, there is no need to 
make 2 gui tools for managing yum repos.
Checkout my code, tell me what you think.
