Oops, I forgot about wild cards. You're right, but what about the approach on 
packages rather than commands ? If one uses yum-libs as Michael said, in my 
opinion this should be the best way of specifying packages since the 
wildcards could be expanded properly. So "install foo*" followed by "erase 
foobar*" would accomplish the expected thing.

You're right again. I admit that since I know very little Python programming 
I'm not well suited for the job (at least not now :) ).

In conclusion I will write a few lines of code to implement the "run" queue 
command as well and start using yum-queue for my personal stuff.

Thank you and Michael for your usefull comments.
