First off, as far as I'm aware, KDE v2 requires Qt v2 irrespective of
PyQt/PyKDE versions.

Secondly, PyKDE2 is a step behind PyQt (the author, Jim Bublitz, has a
much bigger job than I have with PyQt) so you must have the older v3.0
installed. All the necessary code can be downloaded from
http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pykde/download.php.
