PyKDE will pull the version out kdeversion.h, and use the 
individual digits to assemble the actual version number - RH 
seems to mess with the full version number, so I don't use it 
any more.

That's not a PyKDE/KDE function as far as I know - from the error 
msg it seems to be whatever you're running.  You shouldn't need 
to run build.py more than once (although I'm not real familiar 
with building RPMs), and if you just re-run make it'll pick up 
where it left off. That should save you time on the actual PyKDE 
builds.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
