python and QT

[maitre at ccs.neu.edu (Brad Noyes)]

Very good point Scott. I should upgrade, not to the latest, but to the version
that my company is deploying with their systems. That being said, i uninstalled
the stock python rpms, and compiled python 2.1 from source, then recompiled
libsip, and PyQT, and then PyKDE. Everything went fine. So i guess the key was
to upgrade.

Thanks!
