KFileMimeTypeInfo::Unit is an enum which is versioned incorrectly. In the sip 
file it's only defined for KDE >= 3.3.0. To correct the versioning, it would 
be necessary to back through the various KDE versions, because enumerators 
were added in later versions.

HOWEVER, the only places it's referenced in PyKDE is in two typedefs in the 
same file, and neither of the typedef'd types appear to be referenced 
anywhere else.

The easiest fix would be to comment out the two typedefs as shown:

class KFileMetaInfoItem
{
	...
//    typedef KFileMimeTypeInfo::Unit Unit;



class KFileMetaInfo
{
	...
//    typedef KFileMimeTypeInfo::Unit Unit;

You could also comment out the entire Unit enum, although that shouldn't be 
necessary.

This error actually goes back quite a few PyKDE versions and for some reason 
has never shown up in testing against older KDE versions before.
