Any reason why you do not use the latest version? I'd advice you to use
the lastest available one to not unnecesarily suffer from known bugs.

Yes, there is:

http://niftilib.sourceforge.net/pynifti/#binary-packages

Klick on 'Fedora' and choose your version.

It cannot find the niftiio library -- are you sure you installed the
corresponding devel package?
