|
| miro.sebas(~): python
| Python 2.3.5 (#2, Mar 27 2005, 09:43:31)

| Traceback (most recent call last):
|   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
| RuntimeError: the sip module supports API v1.0 to v1.0 but the kdecore module
| requires API v0.2
|
|>>>import kdecore
|>>>
|
|
| As you can see, if I import kdecore a second time after it failed, it works,

| to a specific module. I tried rebuilding the package python-kde3 from the
| latest snapshot from http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pykde/download.php ,
| sadly to no avail. Here's an strace of the above action (importing kdecore 2
| times):

|
| Building of the snapshot went fine on pure64, although it didn't fix the
| problem, but on i386 (with alioth's 3.4 packages), I get the following
| compile error:
|

|
| Earlier (last week's) versions of the packages for both archs worked fine.
|
| versions now installed:
|
| i386:
| ii  python-sip4-dev          4.1.1-1
| ii  python-sip4-qt3          4.1.1-1
| ii  python2.3-sip4-dev       4.1.1-1

That's because we need a newer PyKDE snapshot rebuilt against sip 4.1 (in
Debian). Which will happen when we have time to do this (maybe next week). By
then, there will be Python 2.4 packages of PyKDE, too.

greetings
