There is an error in the build system both in how it computes 
where the PyQt sip files should be, and also in the '-v' command 
line option which lets you specify where they are.

Here's PyKDE-3.8.0/build/discover.py as shipped, starting at line 
613:

---------------------------------------------
def discoverPyQt (self, opts):
        """
        -v dir         the directory containing the PyQt sip  
        files
        """
        self.pyQtLib = DiscoverPyQtLib ("libqtcmodule*",\
                             [self.sipLib.path])

        if opts.has_key ("-v"):
            pyQtSipPath = [opts ["-v"]]
        else:
            pyQtSipPath = ["../", "/usr/local/",\
                                 "/usr/local/src/", "/usr/src/",\
                                 "/usr/share/sip",\
                                 "/usr/local/share/sip",\
                                 "/usr/share/sip/qt"]
        self.pyQtSip = DiscoverPyQtSip (os.path.join \
                             ("PyQt-x11-gpl-" +
                               self.pyQtLib.vers, "sip",\      
                               "qtmod.sip"), pyQtSipPath)
        print
---------------------------------------------

change it to:

---------------------------------------------
def discoverPyQt (self, opts):
        """
        -v dir         the directory containing the PyQt sip  
        files
        """
        self.pyQtLib = DiscoverPyQtLib ("libqtcmodule*",\
                             [self.sipLib.path])

        if opts.has_key ("-v"):
            pyQtSipPath = [opts ["-v"]]
            # add this line: 
	    # ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
            self.pyQtSip = DiscoverPyQtSip ("qtmod.sip",\  
                                  pyQtSipPath)
                                 
        else:
            pyQtSipPath = ["../", "/usr/local/",\
                                 "/usr/local/src/", "/usr/src/",\
                                 "/usr/share/sip",\
                                 "/usr/local/share/sip",\
                                 "/usr/share/sip/qt"]
        # indent the following line so it's part of the 'else'
        # ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
            self.pyQtSip = DiscoverPyQtSip (os.path.join \
                             ("PyQt-x11-gpl-" +
                               self.pyQtLib.vers, "sip",\      
                               "qtmod.sip"), pyQtSipPath)
        print
---------------------------------------------


Then run 

    python build.py -v /usr/share/sip/qt

which should be the path if you installed PyQt from the SuSE rpm.

ALSO: In PyKDE-3.8.0/pythonize/test/testPythonize.pro and 
PyKDE-3.8.0/pykpanelapplet/pytkpanelapplet.pro change 
'python2.2' to 'python2.3'.

Otherwise, PyKDE-3.8.1 should be released in a few days and 
should have fixes for both of the problems above (the only 
changes in the release will be build system fixes).
