[PyKDE] PyKDE update 200308011

[Jim Bublitz]

I'm rapidly losing track of all the things I need/want to do, so 
it's shorter just to list the things that are actually 
happening.

The problems with kfile (thread: PyKDE-3.7-3, things missing in 
this version...?) are being worked on - Phil says it's a really 
bizarre problem and I believe it. There will be a sip snapshot 
tonight (http://www.river-bank.demon.co.uk/download/snapshots/ - 
you'll need both sip and PyQt snapshots I think) that works 
around the missing classes, but I need to do some stuff on my 
end before Phil can get to the missing methods problem. There 
won't be a PyKDE snapshot - PyKDE-3.7-3 should be compatible 
with tonight's sip/PyQt snapshots. The fix only involves changes 
to sip and not to PyKDE.

There probably WON'T be a PyKDE-3.7-4. The next PyKDE release 
will be a PyKDE snapshot that requires the sip/PyQt snapshots 
and breaks compatibility (for PyKDE) with sip 3.6 and 3.7. Phil 
has fixed one other minor sip bug that affected PyKDE and added 
a convenience feature for PyKDE, so I'll be pulling out the 
PyKDE workarounds/kludges related to those. We're on the road to 
PyKDE-3.8 now. The bug in building against KDE 3.1.3 is mostly a 
technical error and shouldn't really affect anybody, so that 
will be fixed in the snapshot heading for 3.8. The new build.py 
will also be in the snapshot.

I'll be building against Phil's latest as soon as he posts it and 
will report results here, probably later tonight.
