There are only two minor changes for PyKDE: the processExited method now takes 
a  KProcess* argument, and the konsolePart class has added 
ExtTerminalInterface as an additional base class (and the bindings include 
that class).  I can send you the sip file if you want (a diff would be about 
as large), or you can try out PyKDE 3.16.0, which is on riverbankcomputing 
now, or PyKDE 3.16.1, which will be available in a few days (the tarball 
offer above was basically a pre-release 3.16.0 version).

It's enabled in 3.16.0, but will require a switch (-x) for 3.16.1, because 
there's no guarantee that a particular installation will have built 
libkonsolepart with symbols exported, so it's not part of a standard PyKDE 
install.
