[PyKDE] Re: QT4

[Sylvain Hellegouarch]

Thanks for that Phil,

My question was more on the technical aspect but the last part of your 
answer is interesting as well.

I was pretty sure that it was a manual process and I can believe it 
takes so much of your time. Actually I was interestd in using sip in 
other port but I realised it was really a manua ltool and for toolkit as 
big as Qt it is really a long processs. I'm quite impressed of your 
patience.

Anyhow, the day you sill start the port of Qt4 let us know, we will be 
pleased to help.
