Python and QML

[Eric Mesa]

Alright, here's my python code:

import sys

from PyQt4.QtCore import QObject, QUrl, pyqtSignal
from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication
from PyQt4.QtDeclarative import QDeclarativeView
from PyKDE4.plasma import Plasma
from PyKDE4 import plasmascript

app = QApplication(sys.argv)

# Create the QML user interface.
view = QDeclarativeView()
view.setSource(QUrl('flickrviews.qml'))
view.setResizeMode(QDeclarativeView.SizeRootObjectToView)


#the meat and potatoes
# Get the root object of the user interface.  It defines a
# signal and any JavaScript functions.  Both
# can be accessed transparently from Python.
rootObject = view.rootObject()

#make it visible
view.setGeometry(100, 100, 400, 240)
view.show()

app.exec_()


this gives me the error: module "org.kde.plasma.core" is not installed
     import org.kde.plasma.core 0.1 as PlasmaCore

this is similar to the error I got when I was trying to develop my plasmoid
in qtcreator.  It means I won't be able to connect to my data engine.  Is
there no way around that?  It seems weird that only plasmoids can use the
power of data engines.
