I've been trying to think of what might have caused it and why I 
don't see the problem here (I've had the same problem in the 
past, but not now).

The only thing I can think of is that because sip4 no longer 
imports recursively (ie each module only had to list the "most 
recent" dependency, not all dependcies), I've had to list all of 
the imports in the top level modules. There were no other major 
build changes - just code fixes, casts, etc. I'd have thought 
explicitly specifying the imports would have improved things.

There's no problem in adding "import" code in the various k*.py 
modules for sip3 - it's just a little code in the top level 
files and sip4 will ignore it.

The next release (rc2) has some major bug fixes and should be 
considered a "mandatory" upgrade (will require a more recent 
version of sip3 or sip 4 too), so I'll put the add'l imports in 
for that release. I'm hoping that'll happen by the end of the 
week.
