[PyKDE] PyKDE release

[Jim Bublitz]

I'm waiting for one more compile to finish and then I should be 
shipping off a tarball to Phil, who usually gets the release up 
at http://riverbankcomputing.co.uk pretty quickly (if he's 
around).

The release has changed slightly from my earlier post:

sip versions: sip 3.6 or sip 3.7 (snapshots not tested yet)

KDE version: any KDE version from 3.0.0 through 3.1.3
(yep - covers 'em all)

Tested on SuSE 8.1, 8.2 and RH 9.0 (compile took twice as long on 
RH ??). Python 2.3 not tested (but don't expect problems)

Most people can probably just do:

    python build.py

to build. build.py now assumes you want -c (use -c- if you don't) 
and libqt-mt is required by KDE3.

I also included some of the unit tests (tests/autotest.py - run 
with tests/ as the current directory). Three should fail 
(KURLList.__getItem__ - obsolete method,  KFile.isSortByName and 
KApplication.startServiceByDesktopPath), all others should pass.
A quick and dirty test of an install is to run:

    python importTest.py

from the top level directory - it just checks that all modules 
can be imported.

This is essentially no different than the last (3.5) release in 
terms of function/bugs/etc. Docs will still say 3.5, as nothing 
much has changed and it saves a few hours not rewriting and 
regenerating the docs.

I'll (hopefully) have another release ready in a week or two with 
bug fixes and other stuff.
