Robin, not sure if you just asked this in #kickstart, but here's some 
example code of reading that from Python:

http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=cobbler;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/findks.cgi;hb=HEAD

For those that aren't there, #kickstart is on irc.freenode.net and is 
the IRC companion to this channel. Join up, as it could
use some more people in it.
