# Python Bindings for KDE (PyKDE-3.11.3)

### Jim Bublitz

# Introduction

PyKDE is a set of Python bindings for the KDE toolkit. PyKDE makes nearly 700 KDE classes and over 10,000 associated methods available to Python programmers.

The Python bindings for the Qt toolkit (PyQt) must also be installed. The sip library must also be installed. This version of PyKDE will support either sip 3.10.2 or sip 4.0.x

The current bindings support KDE versions 3.0.0 through 3.3.0, and Python 2.2 or 2.3. This fileset will work for any supported KDE version. This version will not work with Qt1/KDE1 or Qt2/KDE2.

The bindings are implemented as a number of Python modules corresponding to the names of the separate KDE libraries, i.e. `dcop`, `kdecore`, `kdesu` `kdefx` `kdeui`, `kio`, `kfile`, `kparts`, `khtml`, `kjs (optional)`, `kspellt`, `kdeprint`, `kmdi`,

## Changes

This is the release of PyKDE corresponding to sip 3.10.2 or 4.0/PyQt 3.11 (or later). It supports KDE through version 3.3.0. This release includes a number of bug fixes and enhancements. Support for writing KDE panel applets in Python has been removed. The kutils module has been added. Documentation is now provided as a set of HTML files. DCOP extensions, docs and examples have been added.
