Yes, they even use my PyQt book for that course, but tell the students to use 
the web version at opendocs, instead of buying a paper copy...

Same should hold for PyKDE.

I think that could work quite well -- it could be enough to make people pick 
it up an use it. It would also be nice if one could commit code that depends 
on PyQt or PyKDE into the KDE cvs. (I would like to have the option to use it 
for some things in Krita, having been in love with PyQt for years. At one 
point we're going to need a scripting solution in Krita that makes it 
possible to code dialogs, and PyQt would be perfectly suitable.)
