Absolutely. I think Python as a language and the kdegames module go together 
brilliantly.

We do not currently guarantee API or ABI compatibility but the changes are 
generally quite small and we do try to keep everything compatible where we 
can.

The more interesting thing is which parts of the library would be bound. There 
are, unfortunately, some parts of kdegameslibs which are ungainly and 
unmaintained (KGame for example) while there are others which are used widely 
(such as the theme stuff).

Of course. If it was placed in kdegames, the dependency on kdebindings must be 
optional of course. I assume kdegames is the best place for this as opposed to 
kdebindings itself or another new class of module (e.g. kdegamesbindings)?
