PyKDE4 imports broken

[Darren Dale]

The following python command:

    from PyKDE4 import kdecore

yields:

    ImportError: No module named kdecore

even though it is installed on my system:

    $ locate kdecore.so
    /usr/lib/pyshared/python2.6/PyKDE4/kdecore.so
    /usr/lib/pyshared/python2.7/PyKDE4/kdecore.so
    /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PyKDE4/kdecore.so
    /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyKDE4/kdecore.so

I think it may be the case that the python import routine is finding /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/PyKDE4 early in the search path, but that location only contains the plasmascript.py module. This is a pretty significant bug, it breaks the apport-bug reporting program (which calls apport-kde, which attempts to import kdecore).

Hi, thank your for taking your time to report this bug and helping to make Kubuntu better. With the latest updates this issue is gone here, so can you please check if this still happens for you after installing updates? Thanks.

I just performed an update and still cannot import kdecore.

This works for me now on 13.04. Is it still a problem for you?
