Sample Usage:

The only (somewhat minor) problem I have is that you can only specify a
single type. The two obvious ways to fix this are:
Hrm, I'm sure it used to work with multiple values, e.g:
yum groupinstall --group-package-types=mandatory,optional base
1. Allow multiple options and split on comma/space like most of the
options that take lists.
I guess I'll have to do that.
2. Just assume that default implies mandatory and optional implies the
other two.
...the later might be somewhat "safer" but has less power.
True. I think I prefer the more flexible ability to install exactly
which packages are required. Personally, I am unlikely to want to
install "optional" packages without "default" and/or "mandatory", but I
guess someone might want that.
I better brush up my python and parse the argument passed to
"--group-package-types".
More details and code here:

You might also want to include an option to enable/disable group
conditional packages.
I'm not sure what you mean here. What are "group conditional packages" ?
R.
