[Marble-devel] Fwd: kde4 marbles

[Anne-Marie Mahfouf]

Hi,

The techbase page reference is misleading because it implies you might need 
PyQt and/or PyKDE. I suggest that it is removed and instead you state what 
those Python bindings are for. 

Side question: why are they experimental?

Thanks in advance,

Anne-Marie
