Why bother with the tal:define?  Just:

 <table tal:repeat="row rows">
   <tr tal:condition="python:row.rowtype=='group'">...</tr>
   <tr tal:condition="python:row.rowtype=='user">...</tr>
   <tr tal:condition="python:row.rowtype=='files">...</tr>
 </table>

which is just a direct translation of the corresponding Python:

  for row in rows:
      if row.rowtype=='group':
          # etc
