Cnanging yum.py to call pk, is a bad idea.

but there is already exist a plugin called 'yum-refresh-updatesd' there 
calls into the yum-updatesd via DBUS.

http://devel.linux.duke.edu/gitweb/?p=yum-utils.git;a=blob;f=plugins/refresh-updatesd/refresh-updatesd.py

it could be extended to call packagekit too.
