A couple of comments...

This annotation is internal (it isn't documented) which is why I wasn't 
bothered when I changed its name. I'm happy to make it official if it is 
*really* needed.

PyQt imposes restrictions on the minimum SIP version required. I don't 
know if PyKDE imposes restrictions on the minimum PyQt version required, 
but it could be that older SIPs can't be used anyway.
