[Kst] Building Python cmake error

Maybe it is time to come up with a new name for this thread :-)
testdataobjects.py now runs and opens a new KST2 window... with a bit of
hacking. Maybe this will give you (or someone) a hint what is wrong.
However, the test doesn't seem to do anything obvious so there may still be
other problems. Python also doesn't exit when KST exits, but that may be a
side affect of my hack.
I added code from the
...\WinPython-64bit-2.7.6.4\python-2.7.6.amd64\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4\examples\ipc\localfortuneclient.pyw
file that worked, to the beginning of the testdataobjects.py file
It now looks like this:
#!/usr/bin/python2.7

The QApplication call may be initializing something QLocalSocket needs.
Any ideas?
Thank-you
