Categories aren't a yum-able object; they're used by anaconda only.
Like I said before - categories can be used by any yum api-caller.
but they aren't available to anything using yum from the cli.
import yum
my = yum.YumBase()
my.setCacheDir()
c = my.comps.categories[0]
print c
Desktop Environments
print c.groups
['gnome-desktop', 'sugar-desktop', 'window-managers',
'kde-desktop',
'lxde-desktop', 'moblin-desktop', 'xfce-desktop']
