[PyKDE] Questions about PyKDE

[Michal Krenek]

Hello,
In my distribution (Arch Linux) PyKDE is not included in kdebindinbgs package 
(because of some build problems in the past). So I have tried to build it 
myself. But there goes first question - should I use PyKDE snapshot package 
from here or PyKDE included in kdebindings 3.5.2? Which version of PyKDE is 
newer? How are snapshots from here related to PyKDE included in kdebindings?

Anyway, I have tried to build PyKDE-snapshot20060122.tar.gz first, but failed 
with this error:

Do you know what is wrong? I am using gcc 4.0.3.

Then I have tried to build PyKDE from kdebindings-3.5.2 (only PyKDE, not other 
things from kdebindings - I have kdebindings installed). I have patched it 
with configure.py.diff patch from Gentoo (without this patch, it is giving me 
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'builddir'). But it 
also failed:

An internal error occured.  Please report all output from the program,
including the following traceback, to the PyKDE mailing list

What am I doing wrong?
