Re: New Python Libraries

:: Perhaps you're not using the latest Qt or KDE?

3.0.5 and 3.0.3. SuSE's RPMs.

:: And it certainly didn't take _12_ hours to compile on my relatively low-powered Pentium-II 350 .. what are you using, a 386???

A dual 700 PIII. And it certainly took me 12 hours of elapsed clock time - but only several hours (maybe 4 to 5) actual compile time. I kicked off the build.py, waited several minutes, realized that takes a long time, came back an hour later, kicked off make, came back an hour later, did make install as root, etc, etc. Then I hit PyKDE, and it didn't work. Okay, start from scratch... repeat. Yeah - the actual compiles took a long time, but the compile process involved quite a bit of "waiting on user", and "user sighing, deleting directories, untarring, trying again" and "user downloading source rpms and trying those". :)

Again, I'm not slamming the project (although by the antagonistic tone here, I feel like I'm having to defend the fact that it didn't work for me). I'm sure it buttered your toast - it just didn't compile out of the tarball on a pretty vanilla SuSE install for me. Cest la vie.
