[PyKDE] PyQt v4 Roadmap

[Longson, Joe]

Agreed...  But we are supporting a large body of code that already has 
many "import qt" and "from qt import *" statements throughout the 
code...  Having a more standardized way of handling this (rather than 
providing a 'qt.py' file for every project that uses pyqt) would be much 
preferrable... 

BTW.  I DO like the new namespaces in Qt4..  It makes things much nicer 
for programming and using pyqt.  However, they also are providing 
backwards compatibility header files in most cases..

On a side note:  I'm really pleased with the roadmap for Qtv4 support.   
This is really good news.
