<h1>Introduction</h1>
<P>
PyKDE is a set of Python bindings for the KDE toolkit.  PyKDE makes nearly 700 KDE classes
and over 10,000 associated methods available to Python programmers.
</P>
<P>
The Python bindings for the TQt toolkit (PyTQt) must also be installed. The sip library
must also be installed. This version of PyKDE will support sip 4.2.x. or later. Earlier
sip 4 versions may work, but are untested.
</P>
<P>
The current bindings support KDE versions 3.0.0 through 3.5.3,
and Python 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4. This fileset will work for any supported KDE version.
This version will not work with TQt1/KDE1 or TQt2/KDE2.
</P>
<P>
The bindings are implemented as a number of Python modules corresponding to
the names of the separate KDE libraries, i.e.
<TT CLASS="LITERAL">dcop</TT>,
<TT CLASS="LITERAL">tdecore</TT>,
<TT CLASS="LITERAL">tdefx</TT>,
<TT CLASS="LITERAL">tdeui</TT>,
<TT CLASS="LITERAL">kio</TT>,
<TT CLASS="LITERAL">kresources</TT>,
<TT CLASS="LITERAL">kabc</TT>,
<TT CLASS="LITERAL">kfile</TT>,
<TT CLASS="LITERAL">kparts</TT>,
<TT CLASS="LITERAL">khtml</TT>,
<TT CLASS="LITERAL">kspell</TT>,
<TT CLASS="LITERAL">tdeprint</TT>,
<TT CLASS="LITERAL">kmdi</TT>.
</P>
<H2>Changes</H2>
<P>
<p>  
Troy Melhase's "pytde_sampler" example application has been added to the examples/ directory. If
you're interested in making a contribution to PyKDE, expanding pytde_sample to support additional
widgets and PyKDE features would be a good place to start.
</p>  
<p>  
This release also replaces the original dcopext.py module with an improved version authored by
Matthias Panzenbock. The original version is available in extensions/dcopext.py.old, but is not
installed.
</p>
<p>
konsolepart support has been restored, but only for KDE >= 3.5.0. configure.py now detects lib64
automatically. Also included are Matthias Panzenbock's DCOP extensions patch and Michael Franz
Aigner's TDEConfigSkeleton patch, both of which have been in previous snapshots.
