I absolutely agree.

There should be clear guidelines defined for python
projects somewhere in the wiki IMHO. I am not a cmake
export nor a packager and would really prefer to stay
out of this discussion. Anyway I would volunteer to
write up a new small chapter "CMake and Python projects"
at http://techbase.kde.org/Development/CMake
if nobody else does.

I think commit r1131550 should also be reverted:

I tried to mail Jonathan Riddell by private mail on May 31
but I never got an answer and then I forgot about it. Maybe
I did not use the right mail address.
