My guess is you didn't rebuild/recompile PyQt when you upgraded to sip 4.  
PyKDE/PyQt need to be built with comparable sip versions. There is a change 
in module architecture between sip 3 and sip 4. 

It might also be a good idea to remove any PyKDE *.py files (* == same name as 
modules) from site-packages. Don't remove the <module>.so files (eg 
kdecore.so, kdeui.so) or you'll need to recompile PyKDE. The 
lib<module>cmodule.so files are from the sip3 PyKDE (eg libkdecorecmodule.so, 
etc) and also won't be needed.

KDE/PyKDE require qt-mt. I haven't tried it otherwise in quite a while, but I 
believe PyKDE would still require PyQt to be built with qt-mt also.
