Well, when you want to use kdecore and kdeui, it seems to be a good
idea to have PyKDE installed :)

The current PyKDE is in alpha stage (the previous release only deals
with KDE1). You can download it from
http://www.thekompany.com/projects/pykde, but have to compile it yourself.

If you don't want to do this, PyQt is still fine do to GUI programming
- just have a look at the Qt documentation (will surely be installed
with the Qt-Devel-package) to see what's available. Generally,
everything starting with a Q is, while everything starting with a K
isn't.
