PyKDE

PyKDE, written and actively maintained by Jim Bublitz, is a full interface to KDE's libraries. This allows you to write fully-fledged KDE applications with python.

PyKDE needs PyQt and SIP to run. These are both actively maintained by Phil Thompson.

Documentation is available at Riverbank Computing Limited.

If you have written an application for PyKDE, please list it here:
