PyKDE 3.8 won't build with sip 3.10.1 or PyQt 3.11. Your 
alternatives are to revert to sip/PyQt 3.8 which is a terrible 
idea, or wait for the PyKDE 3.11 release. 

I'm not that far in terms of work from releasing PyKDE 3.11 
snapshot, but I have at least a couple of days of other 
(business) stuff I have to attend to first, so it's a least a 
week until the snapshot will be released. It should be 
essentially the final version - whatever problems it has will 
likely be on the installation side.
