Slackware-current python upgrade breaks kde4 printer module
 

Slackware64-current update on Nov 30th breaks kde4.5.1 printer module.

:~$ kcmshell4 system-config-printer-kde
kcmshell(9368)/python (plugin): Failed to import module

Is there a quick easy fix for this?

Nope. It's not a python problem but sip-pykde's. I think rebuild kdebindings will fix the problem, as long as the kdebindings could build against the new sip/pyqt.

I think we should have to wait just a little: everything looks like Pat is preparing the ground for a kde update in current (I'm talking about the updated qt, pyqt, sip and so on).

Thanks for the info. I'll wait for the kde upgrade.
