Hi,
Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately I can't do so. I'm developing a 
script for amarok used by many people (the replaygain script), so I can't ask 
them to use a PyKDE not shipped with their distro or kde official packages (I 
could suggest to patch and recompile their current 
kdebindings3-python-3.4/3.5, though).

Look again, I do call KCmdLineArgs.init():
kdecore.KCmdLineArgs.init(sys.argv[:1], _kaboutdata)
Why should I call _kapp.exec_loop()? The application has no kde interface, so 
it simply seems to hang if I do so.
