This is definitely weird.

I think the following is coming from qmake - build.py doesn't use 
anything from Qt/PyQt:

This traceback seems to leftover from the indicated stmt in line 
1431 which is in a try-except block - it really can't be the 
point of failure  or build.py would have quit much earlier.

First, look in the top level directory for PyKDE and see if the 
PyKDE.pro file exists. If it doesn't, that would be the problem
(build.py should create it). If you don't have it, you can create 
it. Be sure the user running build.py has write access to the 
top level directory - build.py needs to create PyKDE.pro and 
Makefile there.

This is all PyKDE.pro consists of:
--------------

TEMPLATE = subdirs
SUBDIRS = dcop kdecore kdesu kdefx kdeui kio kfile kparts khtml\
     kjs kspell kdeprint

--------------
(SUBDIRS can be all on one line)

Then run:

    qmake -o Makefile PyKDE.pro 

from the top level directory (you may need to specify the path to 
qmake - should be something like /usr/lib/qt3/bin/qmake for 
SuSE).

At that point (after creating Makefile/no errors) you should be 
able to run "make" and "make install", because build.py ran far 
enough to do everything else necessary.

If the above doesn't work, then there's likely a problem with the 
qmake installation or the template files qmake uses.

Let me know how that turns out (esp if PyKDE.pro wasn't created 
automatically).
