PyKDE as I release it currently checks for sip 4.1.1, which is the first 
version of 4.0 PyKDE would build against. But there were some changes in sip 
syntax later on (4.3?) that changed mapped type code and I no longer version 
sip for those (I did up to about 6 months ago), so realistically,  sip 4.2 or 
4.3 something is required the way PyKDE is written now. I should check that 
out and update configure.py (actually, I thought I had), but I haven't 
noticed any complaints.

I couldn't tell you the last time PyKDE (as I release it) could still use 
sip3.
