Humm, have you manually edited or deleted anything in the /etc/yum or yum.d 
directories?

Better yet, mount the install cd and go into the RPMS directory on it and see 
if you can find a file named 'fedora-release-*.rpm' and use the -F freshen 
switch & see if rpm will fix it.  If that don't, then my bets on a python 
problem of some kind.
