I have my development machine on a different project at the moment, so I can't 
check this explicitly, but the likely problem is that PyQt4 has added a 
definition for a template type that wasn't provided previously.

The fix would be to comment out (/* .. */, not Python comment) the entire 
%MappedType block begining at the line indicated (including any preceding 
template annotation) in sip/kdecore/typedefs.sip.
