[PyKDE] PyQt distro support?

This is just a general question, but maybe someone can offer some
insight.  Why is there so little support of PyQt from the major Linux
distributions?  There are very few RPM's for PyQt out there.  I found
none for 2.5, and the few that exist for 2.4 are not actually part of
any major distributions.  I didn't check into deb's, but the situation
there is probably similar.

I really like PyQt, and I haven't had any trouble getting it compiled
from source on my machine.  But that's a lot to expect of a casual
user who might want to download one of my programs for a test-run.

Is this expected to change in the near future?  Maybe the release of
PyKDE2 will provide the necessary visibility.  Or will it actually
become part of KDE? 

Any thoughts?
Doug.
