Python Bindings for KDE (PyKDE-3.8)

Jim Bublitz

Introduction

PyKDE is a set of Python bindings for the KDE toolkit. The Python bindings for the Qt toolkit (PyQt) must also be installed. The sip library must also be installed. The current bindings support KDE versions 3.0.0 through 3.1.4, and Python 1.5.x to 2.3. This fileset will work for any supported KDE version. This version will not work with Qt1/KDE1 or Qt2/KDE2.

The bindings are implemented as a number of Python modules corresponding to the names of the separate KDE libraries, i.e. kdecore, kdeui, kio, kfile, dcop, kparts, khtml, and kjs, kdesu kdeprint, kdefx

Changes

This is the release of PyKDE corresponding to sip/PyQt 3.8. It supports KDE version 3.1.4. This release includes a number of bug fixes and enhancements. It also includes support for writing KDE panel applets in Python (no C++ required), and a completely revised documentation set which may be viewed using the supplied documentation viewer ("Wabbit") or converted into browser-readable HTML files.
