    It is inside the yum program itself (I haven't read all the code, 
but that is where it has to be)

P.S.
    If you really want to find out, you could start with "cat 
/usr/bin/yum" then look to see what modules are being loaded 
(yummain.py(c)) reading them and the files they import etc. etc.  
Wouldn't hurt to know some python though, Good Luck!
