In october, there will be a technical preview of KDE4 That's after aKademy, I 
excpect a lot of changes to be done there, especially WRT API issues, since 
those discussions make a lot of sense face-to-face. After aKademy, it should 
settle down a bit, although the APIs are probably still to be changed. At the 
moment, a couple of important things have not happened yet: Plasma is far 
from ready, Solid hasn't been merged, Akonadi (Ok, that's more comparable 
with kdepimlibs, but still) is not yet there...

It would be nice, however, to have something to play with in the meantime, 
especially for those, that would like to ship their PyKDE when KDE4 is 
released, or shortly thereafter. But then I'm not the one who has to run 
after an unstable API. In that sense, it would make a lot of sense to 
maintain only one copy in a public place (KDE SVN?), so people can more 
easily help getting PyKDE into shape. As Jim said, it's not that hard to 
write the sip files, and given the active and helpful community around Py(Qt|
KDE), I can imagine that it "just works".

do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will 
understand why I dismiss yours. - Sir Stephen Henry Roberts
