I don't know if the python bindings in kdebindings are the same, but
most people use pyKDE for accessing KDE from python. See
www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pykde, it also mentions the correct list.

That has nothing to do with KDE, but is a python limitation. python
needs the shared libs somewhere in the python path, which normally is
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages (or a subdir of that). The easiest way
is probably to install python yourself into your home, it's not hard.

There is, install python somewhere where you have write permissions.
