That is what I'm getting at. It is not acceptable that a new stable version of KDE ships and all of your python apps break. I've seen too many times people dumping python and porting to C++ mainly because of availability and the fact that PyQt/PyKDE doesn't come installed with peoples KDE/distro. This problem is putting a limit on adoption of Python with KDE. That's a real pity. > Probably Jim > Bublitz could use some help.

With this thread I want to open up the discussion about how we can fix this problem. Now, KDE 3 is meant to be compatible through all of the 3.x releases. So I imagine that it is possible for someone other than Phil and Jim to fix the bindings when a new 3.x version of KDE comes out, and make sure that stable releases of KDE also have a working PyQt/PyKDE available. It would be nice to have matching releases of PyQt/PyKDE that are syncronised with KDE so that the distros can package and release at the same time as KDE. Because right now it is not very clear what matches what. It would be even better if this 'set' of PyQt/PyKDE was also officially part of each KDE release, but that might just be wishful thinking for the time being. ;-) cheers, -- Simon Edwards | Guarddog Firewall [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.simonzone.com/software/ Nijmegen, The Netherlands | "ZooTV?
