I would guess the problem is that  in kdecore/kmdcodec.sip, the KMD5 class has 
an update ( ... ) method that takes a char argument and another that takes a 
uchar argument.. Commenting out one or the other would probably fix it 
(haven't had time to try it). The KMD4 class (later in the same file) has the 
same situation. Apparently the new snapshot triggers that as a problem, where 
previously it hasn't been (hasn't been particularly useful or necessary to 
have both methods either). 

There might also be other instances elsewhere, but at the moment it doesn't 
look like any major sip changes to deal with (I'm guessing).

I have a lot going on at the moment, but will try to get a new PyKDE snapshot 
out ASAP. Can probably pick up KDE 3.5.3 (which probably won't change much) 
at the same time. It's likely to be at least a few days, if not longer.
