It's a big help to get all the output - I snipped everything that 
looks OK.

In "generateSource" in build.py, uncomment the following line:

#    print qttag, kdetag

and see what the value of qttag is - should Qt_3_2_0. If you look 
in /usr/share/sip/qt/versions.sip, the %Timeline statement won't 
have a Qt_3_2_0 value - that's what the error msg is saying - 
because PyQt 3.7 predates Qt 3.2.0 and may not be compatible 
(adding Qt_3_2_0 to the %Timeline stmt would probably be a bad 
idea). PyKDE 3.7-4 actually came out after Qt 3.2.0 and works 
with PyQt 3.8.

The "correct" solution would be to upgrade to sip/PyQt/PyKDE 3.8.

You could try forcing qttag. A few lines before the print stmt 
mentioned above, add the following line:

    qttag = "Qt_3_1_2"	# add this

    # before this:
    argv = ["-t", plattag,
            "-t", qttag,
            "-t", kdetag,
            "-z", "features",
            "-I", "sip",
            "-I", pyQtSipDir,
            "-m", mname + "/" + pro,
            "-c", mname,
            fullmname]

I'm reasonably sure that'll work and not cause problems (but I'm 
not positive about that). What I'd wonder is how you got PyQt 
3.7 to build and install with Qt 3.2.2?
