[PyKDE] What little detail am I missing?

Did you check Python docs? Because your problem simply is a lack of
understanding how python works.

Is innput defined in enkeltest.py? If not this won't work.

Here you access the variable "test" which is not defined anywhere.
Especiall prog() is global function, it's not in the scope of the click
class. I guess you want it to be in that scope, please be carefull with
indentation as that are the braces and curls in Python. So if you use
this:

class click(enkelTest):
  def __init__(self):
    enkelTest.__init__(self)
    self.test = innput
  def prog(self):
    print self.test

click would be a class that is an enkelTest but has a new function and a
new instance variable, provided that innput is a global variable.

Now do you want to instantiate your enkelTest class or your click class?
If the latter than change this to f = click().

With the fixed click class above f.show() and f.prog() will work as
expected.

Not sure if those are working with PyQt3. I never used PyQt3.

You're mixing C++ and Python here, not good.

see above the name "test" and the name "innput" are both not defined in
the global namespace. This has nothing to do with PyQt or Qt, that's
basic Python. There are good Python introductions on python.org.
