[Kst] Building Python cmake error

[Kevin Burr]

As far as I can tell using Spyder, testdataobjects.py makes it into
client=kst.Client("TestPlugins") as far as

 36: self.ls=QtNetwork.QLocalSocket()
>

in pykst.py, and then dies without an error message - or at least one I
know how to find with my limited knowledge of Python.

I've tried importing from both PyQt4 and PySide with the same results.  I
didn't have Kst running since I thought the Client class would start it for
me.

Any suggestions?

Thank-you
