Version: (using KDE 4.3.2) Installed from: SuSE RPMs In parallel with the changes in recent versions of PyQt, PyKDE4 has adopted the new style API for signal/slot connections (i.e. OBJECT.SIGNAL.connect(SLOT) ). It works perfectly in most of the bindings, but in KIO.Job and derived subclasses there is no way to access the "result" signal without using the old API (SIGNAL("C++ signature")). Given an example job: get_job = KIO.get(KUrl("http://www.example.com/index.html")) This is possible: QtCore.QObject.connect(get_job, QtCore.SIGNAL("result( KJob *)"), some_slot) while this raises an exception, as "result" is not present in "get_job": get_job.result.connect(some_slot) As new-stype API is also used in other parts PyKDE4, this should - if technically possible - be addressed.
This is fixed in KDE SC 4.5 RC1 (tested with a simple program: the result slot gets called correctly instead of raising an exception). Closing.
