Or you can use PyKDE with the recent PyQt/sip snapshots if you do
the following to PyKDE:

1. grep the sip files for "sipName":

    grep sipName .../sip/*.sip

There are only 7 occurances

2. Replace all occurances of "sipName_module_something" with
"sipName_something". For example

sipBadVirtualResultType(sipName_kdeui_KDateValidator,
    sipName_kdeui_validate); 

becomes:

sipBadVirtualResultType(sipName_KDateValidator, sipName_validate); 

3. Build as usual
