[PyKDE] curious about multiple installs

[Patrick Stinson]

As it turns out, PyKDE-3.8.0 is only compatible with sip-3.8 and PyQt-3.8, and 
I need to use the sip snapshots to get my sip-based C++ module to compile 
correctly.

See article:

So, it looks like I won't be able to use my module with PyKDE (something I've 
now decided to do) until PyKDE supports a newer version of sip. What I've 
decided to do while I wait is to build and install a seperate instance of 
pytho/sip/pyqt/pykde that uses the old versions. I tried this with previous 
versions (didn't seem worth the effort), but it seems that an unprivelaged 
user can build them now, so I was curious if this sort of thing was possible. 
Also, am I wrong about the first part of the message?

Cheers!
