[Bug 819291] [NEW] PyKDE4 imports broken

[Darren Dale]

Public bug reported:

The following python command:

    from PyKDE4 import kdecore

yields:

    ImportError: No module named kdecore

even though it is installed on my system:

    $ locate kdecore.so
    /usr/lib/pyshared/python2.6/PyKDE4/kdecore.so
    /usr/lib/pyshared/python2.7/PyKDE4/kdecore.so
    /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PyKDE4/kdecore.so
    /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyKDE4/kdecore.so

I think it may be the case that the python import routine is finding
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/PyKDE4 early in the search path, but that
location only contains the plasmascript.py module. This is a pretty
significant bug, it breaks the apport-bug reporting program (which calls
apport-kde, which attempts to import kdecore).
