There currently isn't a version of PyKDE2 that builds with KDE 3.0 final - the last release builds with KDE3.0beta2, but there were major changes between the beta and final. I was shooting for an updated release of PyKDE2 this weekend, but it looks like it will be a little later than that. As of right now, I'm building PyKDE2 to sip 3.1-and-a-half - there was a 3.1 bug I needed fixed (namespaces), but I haven't switched over to 3.2 yet. I patched my 3.1 and Phil has already comitted the patch to CVS. I'm also rewriting the build system, so that adds a little extra complication (and makes me reluctant to switch sip versions until I get the current file set working - there are changes needed for the threading fixes in sip 3.2 also). To stay in sync, the PyKDE2 release won't be out until sip 3.2 is also released, but that should happen pretty soon also - PyKDE2 will probably follow sip 3.2 by a day or two. If Mandrake 8.2 is using gcc2.96 (I believe 8.2beta was), there are compile problems in the currently available releases related to that which should also be fixed in the next release. Quite honestly, the time to work on PyKDE2 just hasn't been available until today, and will be a little short next week too, but I don't have a lot left to do to get a release in shape.
