I realize this is about 5 months after your original message. I was avoiding 
getting into this, because I thought there might some difficult problems 
PyKDE had with KParts, but it seems to work fine.

The following program imports a KPart - KPDF, KGhostview or KWord. Any of 
these work fine for me. KPDF and KGhostView will read and display a PDF file. 
KWord will open and allow you to edit a plain text file.

I'm not sure what was causing your crash, but these all work fine - I haven't 
made any modifications to PyKDE in this area (in fact I was just going to 
start digging into it, but apparently what I need is some good example 
programs). None of these have any of the menu interface stuff implemented.

I'm very sorry for the slow response (and in reading back, a pretty poor 
response on my part). I've had very little time to look at any of this the 
last few months.

Let me know if these don't work for you.

Jim
