I've thought about this for a while over the weekend. I think what you are 
saying is right. I apologize to Peter for blowing him off so quickly -- he 
was correct.

When I build the PyKDE RPM, I have to put everything into a temporary file 
structure. That means that I expected PyKDE to put it's modules into that 
tree. I'll take a look at it when I get home, and make some modifications to 
build.py so I can use it to make an RPM.
