<pre wrap="">1.) KDE < 3.0.2 doesn't appear to have the KURL method, so I changed the
configure script to "fool" it into believing I was running KDE 3.0.0.
This works on pykde3.11rc1 but not on pykde3.11.1. They both compile,
but I get an unresolved symbol when attempting an import with pykde3.11.1.
2.) I had to change the references to LONG_LONG to PY_LONG_LONG (no big
deal, saw your email on that),
3.) I had to manually include qvariant.h in
kdecore/sipkdecorepart0.cpp. I saw some talk about this on the mailing
list but no real answer. I assume this is a fairly clean "fix"?

The oldest version I test against is KDE 3.0.3 - I've run out of room to keep
all of the older versions available (but I should have all of the KDE
source). (1) looks like a versioning error of some sort, which should be easy
to track down and fix; KURL should exist for KDE > 2.0 </pre>

No biggie for us right now - We don't even use it.<br>

back and look at again - I thought that was Python version related, but I
think the code for that still moves around somewhat depending on KDE version,

<pre wrap=""> (3) I don't have
an answer for as far as the cause - usually that kind of thing seems to occur
because of the way #includes are placed (cpp vs h) or ordered in KDE. I can
probably fix that by throwing in a #include some place for qvariant.h. It
might be hard to find the right place for compilation without concatenation,
but for concatenating (which you're doing since you have the single big cpp
file) it shouldn't make a difference where it goes.

I just slapped it at the top and all seems to work well here with both
versions of KDE.<br>

We ran into another event related problem that has stopped us in our
tracks though :-(. When switching to a khtml view, then switching back
to any already displayed view that contains a custom event, our
application (Lsongs) dies. This is with the text commented out in
event.sip. I even went so far as to comment out that same event
related code in every file that contained it, to no avail. The
behavior displayed was the same each and every time.<br>
<br>
If you need it, I'll send you the source code of lsongs right over, but
it is alot to wade through and I didn't want to spam you with it. I
can also send you a traceback. (didn't want to spam you with it
either) I can write a simple app that displays the problem too if you
like, and don't want to wade through the lsongs code.<br>
<br>
Sorry to keep bugging you. We just need this capability to deploy
shoutcast support in lsongs as well as our future music warehouse..<br>

I've actually been writing an app with PyQt/PyKDE the last few weeks (and the
next few weeks too) and the GUI parts have been a breeze. I'm always amazed
at how fast this stuff runs, at least on the GUI level, and it's much easier
than trying to do it in C++.

Out of curiosity, what type of app are you writing?<br>
