def chgroups(name, groups, append=False):
    '''
    Change the groups to which a user belongs

    name
        Username to modify

    groups
        List of groups to set for the user. Can be passed as a comma-separated
        list or a Python list.

    append : False
        Set to ``True`` to append these groups to the user's existing list of
        groups. Otherwise, the specified groups will replace any existing
        groups for the user.

    CLI Example:

    .. code-block:: bash

        salt '*' user.chgroups foo wheel,root True

        groups = groups.split(',')

    if ugrps == set(groups):
        return True
    if append:
        groups += ugrps
    cmd = ['pw', 'usermod', '-G', ','.join(groups), '-n', name]
    return __salt__['cmd.retcode'](cmd, python_shell=False) == 0
