Your tree is way out of date. You need pykickstart-1.99.8-1, which was built on 14 March 2012.
David, pykickstart-1.99.7-1.fc17 is the latest version available for Fedora 17, see: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=13 Does it mean that this issue is not going to be fixed in Fedora 17?
Sorry about that. It was fixed so early that I was sure it had gotten into the beta, but it didn't. I suppose it won't get into f17 at this point since we are trying hard to stabilize the final release.
