This is really Phil's to answer, but since it's after midnight in 
the UK, I'll give you a provisional answer and Phil can correct 
me later ...

You probably could, with considerable effort, get PyQt-3.8.1 to 
build with sip 4.0. However, there are a *huge* number of syntax 
changes you'll need to make throughout *.sip (including deleting 
a lot of no longer needed code).

Phil doesn't (as of a couple days ago when I asked him) have a 
PyQt that's buildable with sip 4.0 at the moment - PyQt is "in 
transition" - he's in the process of making all of the changes 
in the previous paragraph (and perhaps debugging sip a little 
too). He indicated to me that he would post to the list when a 
sip 4.0 compatible PyQt will be available - probably not too 
long from now.

For anyone curious, I haven't started on a sip 4.0 compatible 
PyKDE yet - maybe in another week or so (start that is, not 
release). In my case that's updating tools, not PyKDE code, so 
there won't be a snapshot until it's fairly complete. Probably 
the same release as KDE 3.2-final support.
