here is what yumgroups.py does:

you can give it a set of comps.xml files - it parses them, reads, them,
integrates the various groups across the comps.xml files then lists out
for you package, group and metapkgs per group.

take look - the default listing can be quite informative.

or grab yum - put a yumgroups.xml in a repository and do a 'yum
grouplist hidden'
