I'm not sure if this is a bug but I had to modify the build.py to make it run 
on my installation. My installation is as follows:

python 2.2 installed into /usr (deb package), sip 3.7 and pyqt 3.7 installed 
into /usr/local.

When I ran the PyKDE build.py I got the following error:

ldd: /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/libqtcmodule.so: No such file or 
directory
Can't determine if PyQt uses libqt-mt

It was looking for the PyQt modules in the python 2.2 standard site-packages 
directory instead of the /usr/local location which I had specified with the 
-d option to the PyKDE build.py. So I changed the PyKDE build.py on line 658, 
to use modDir instead of platPySiteDir and that seemed to work.

This changes the assumption that PyQt is installed in the standard python 
site-packages directory, into the assumption that PyQt is installed in the 
location where you are going to install PyKDE. IMHO, that is a better 
assumption to make unless you want to add another option for the location of 
the PyQt modules.

My PyQt segfault problem seems to have mysteriously gone away, so I'll let you 
know how my PyKDE app works once I've got everything compiled.

Ciao,
