None of the PyKDE python modules import cleanly. Here is an example of the output when trying to import dcop, kdecore, kdesu, kdefx, kdeui, kio, kfile, kparts, khtml, kjs, kspell and kdeprint. --BEGIN OUTPUT!! >>> import dcop Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

It seems that most of them are related to libDCOP.so.4 not being able to be found, but some say that they cannot import certain classes like KActionMenu. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start interactive python interpreter 2. try to import PyKDE modules such as kdecore (ex. import kdecore) Actual Results: I get errors saying that libDCOP.so.4 cannot be found and that certain classes like KActionMenu are not found. Expected Results: The software should have imported the modules and given no errors.

By the way, I am the original bug poster and here are the locations of libDCOP.so.4 on my system % locate libDCOP.so.4 /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libDCOP.so.4.1.0 /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libDCOP.so.4 %
are your enviroment variabile set good? check your /etc/env.d/ for kde-related env (i can't reproduce this)
little note: PyKDE was just renamed in pykde
what's the status about this? still an issue?
Yes, the bug is resolved on my system, but only because I did a fresh install of Gentoo 1.4_rc4. I never did find the reason why it didn't work. Sorry to create a stir.
fixed for the reporter
